On behalf of our Bond community, it gives me great pleasure to highlight our achievement in scoring the most five-star ratings of any Australian university in the recently released 2010 Good Universities Guide.
Bond scored top marks across an impressive nine key performance indicators, including Educational Experience and Graduate Outcomes. In fact, this is the third consecutive year Bond has received the highest possible rating in these critical markers.
The recognition received from the Good Universities Guide – the nation’s only definitive guide for ratings, rankings, comment and information on universities – is an inspiring reminder that studying and contributing to the Bond culture is something special. | |

 Congratulations to Professor Paul Wilson who this month fronted a colourful crowd at the National Press Club of Australia for an address titled Draconian and Undemocratic: Why bikie laws won’t work.
In addition to the usual throng of media, the Canberra audience included members of Australia’s bikie community who were interested to hear the Professor of Criminology’s opinion of outlaw motorcycle gang legislation introduced in South Australia and New South Wales.

 Gold Coast high school students discovered that riding a bike or running in the classroom is sometimes allowed as Bond threw open its doors as part of National Science Week.
More than 80 students from A.B. Paterson College learned how sport and science had become closely linked, with sporting teams relying on evidence based practices to get the most out of their athletes.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND ACCOLADES
Bond student’s athletic career goes swimmingly
|
 Bond student Gene Kubala hopes to carry the same form he showed in the pool at last month’s World University Games into the Australian University Games on the Gold Coast this September.
The second-year Property and Sustainable Development student returned from July’s World University Games in Belgrade, Serbia, having placed in the top 10 in his favoured 50m freestyle event. He was also narrowly pipped for a medal as a member of Australia’s fourth-placed 4x100 metre freestyle relay team.
