Celebration of Excellence
In the year that stretched us and showed us what was possible on different platforms and environments, our 2020 Celebration of Excellence evening was held on Tuesday night with the addition of a live streaming function. Thank you to those who watched online and those who came to the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre. Again, we displayed an outstanding array of student and staff talent, my sincere thanks to all involved who are integral to this evening living up to its name.
