Fish tank facelift

To celebrate Biodiversity Month, the Library fish tank at Kurri Kurri has had a facelift! Our lucky fish now have a wonderful variety of colourful replicas of plants and coral to enjoy. The vibrant aquarium display is a reminder of the importance of protecting biodiversity in nature. As well as preserving the beauty of the world, it is a wise investment in the future health and wellbeing of our planet and ourselves.

To promote awareness of White Ribbon Day, Cessnock campus recently hosted a tasty event. Friendchip Day saw happy participants munching on hot chips and gravy, drinking tea and coffee and enjoying the opportunity to socialise.

Genesis Fitness instructors also attended to try and encourage those eating hot chips to join the Gym, but managed to resist the temptation of eating the chips themselves.

Library staff noted that “whilst the students did enjoy the chips, many were asking when the Fruit and Yogurt day was going to be held again, so maybe we are creating a healthy campus attitude.”

The event was a success, with close to $40 raised in support of White Ribbon Day.
