Acting Director's Message

Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of Tim, I would like to thank everyone who was involved in the organisation and discussion at PEC planning day - see image above. It has been a successful day where we learnt more about the changes to the teaching program that our Deputy Director Education, Joe Hope is driving. The discussions have also been very constructive. Tim and Jong also Skyped in from Beijing where they reported great enthusiasm from every universities they visited so far. We look forward to a brighter future in our teaching and education program.
