This week in Queensland, we have had some pretty extreme and exciting wet weather, which has unfortunately left people devastated by floods for the second time in the past half a decade. Well golly Mother Nature, tell us how you really feel!
This has forced the closure of lots of roads and businesses in flood areas and surrounding areas. I was all set to begin college tomorrow but due to the floods and for the safety of staff and students travelling to the college, CNB have decided to close the college to students tomorrow - that's both of their campuses; Fortitude Valley and Gold Coast.
It's sort of good in a way because it gives me a few more days to mentally prepare myself and get my sleeping pattern back to that of a normal person. It also gives me a few more days to wear nail polish :D
This is the message published by the college this afternoon:
"Brisbane and Gold Coast Campuses Closed to Students
After looking at all factors including current weather patterns, unknown flood water peaks, functioning of public transport and persistent power outages the decision has been made to close the Brisbane and Gold Coast campuses tomorrow, Tuesday 29 January 2013.
Both campuses are currently fully operational and undamaged. However the issue of travelling to and from these campuses in areas that are flood affected or damaged may present safety issues. Given the situation is still unfolding it is also unknown what the full impact will be on public transport, particularly rail - no doubt they will be trying their best in a difficult situation. The safety of students and staff is our highest priority
From tomorrow both the Endeavour College of Natural Health and the College of Natural Beauty were expecting new VET student cohorts on campus for the beginning of Trimester 1.
The Director of Aesthetics Education for the College of Natural Beauty has determined that classes will not proceed tomorrow due to the risks associated with a large student cohort travelling to campus. Similarly the Executive Team of Endeavour College has confirmed classes will not proceed.
A decision regarding classes scheduled for the remainder of this week will be announced at 2.00pm tomorrow.
Executive staff will return to the Brisbane campus tomorrow along with other staff members not in danger of travelling through flood waters. The Gold Coast Campus is closed to all staff and students.
Students can email info@cnb.edu.au for non urgent queries.
Carolyn Barker AM
Chief Executive Officer"
After reading your blog I will be able to get more ideas about online courses. I also have some other options from where you can check out more courses here: VET FEE-Help Courses.
