The graduation ceremonyTraditionally, universities and other tertiary institutions hold graduation ceremonies to formally confer awards on students who have successfully completed a program of study.

At Batchelor Institute, graduation ceremonies combine European traditions with the cultures of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island communities, graphically demonstrating the Institute’s Both-ways philosophy of education.

Among the most obvious elements derived from the European tradition is the distinctive academic dress worn by graduating students and others entitled to do so because of their position within the Institute or their academic qualifications.

The gowns, hoods and stoles worn by many of those at the ceremony have their origins in patterns which have changed little since the Middle Ages. Traditionally, the design, colour and decoration of each have come to indicate the status of its wearer by denoting his or her field of study and academic level achieved. See the guide to academic dress in the back of this booklet for more details.

Integral to the ceremony are elements reflecting the traditions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities from which students come. In particular, graduating students are encouraged to combine traditional decorations and regalia or their culture with their academic dress, emphasizing the both-ways significance of the occasion.

Dance also forms a part of the overall ceremony, including its opening and closing moments when the academic procession arrives and departs. In addition, individual students are often ‘danced up’ to receive their awards by family and community members.

Even when students are not accompanied by dancers, they are often escorted to receive their awards by family members, reflecting recognition of the shared and collective importance of each student’s achievements.

PLEASE NOTE: A large number of students whose names appear in this program will, by choice, receive their awards either in absentia, at the Central Australian graduation ceremony in Alice Springs, or at community celebrations held later in the year.

Director’s messageThank you for joining us on this very special occasion, a day that will no doubt remain a highlight in the lives of today’s Graduands. It is with great respect that I acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land we are gathered upon today, the Kungarakan and Warrai people and the many other Aboriginal families that reside and continue to live in Batchelor.

Today’s ceremony is a time honoured one, a day that is about celebrating the achievements of the students graduating before us. It is often not an easy journey, but we know you have given it your all and we know how proud you should be, and you should know how proud we all are of you.

You join a legion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people that have graduated from Batchelor Institute of Indigenous Tertiary Education over more than 40 years, many of whom have gone on to create positive changes in their home communities and achieve great things by putting the skills, knowledge and experiences they have gained here at Batchelor to good use.

Many of our students have also gone about creating positive change for First Nations peoples on the local, national and international stage. This is the mantle that you now carry, you are role models for your communities as well as leaders that will be called upon for your expertise and understandings.

We hope that you will go on to inspire more Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to see the importance of education and the improvements that can be made to anyone’s life through your commitment to completing your subjects and courses of choice.

I know the staff and lecturers of the Institute regard you as part of the Batchelor family and like any family you are always welcome, whether it be to pursue even more studies or to simply let us know how you are going, you can always call upon your ‘Batchelor family’ to offer guidance and support.

The Institute itself is going from strength to strength and that is reflected here today with this outstanding turnout of graduates who have all achieved something remarkable that deserves to be fully celebrated and recognised.

We know your families are very proud of you, and we hope that you, will in-turn, use your new skills and knowledge to demonstrate your dedication to improving the lives of those around you by putting this knowledge to the best possible use, as I know you will.

Once again, this is your day to shine and we hope that you enjoy it and go on to shine brightly as a beacon of hope and prosperity for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people national wide.

I congratulate all of you.

ROBERT SOMERVILLE AM Chief Executive Officer

Student responseRachel BakerRachel, a proud Yolngu woman from Elcho Island, is a pioneer and one of the most inspiring, disciplined and self-determined women of her generation. After completing Certificate I, II and III in Business at Batchelor Institute, Rachel will graduate with a Certificate IV in Business (Governance).

As a graduate of the Indigenous Marathon Program (IMP), Rachel has attained a Certificate IV in Health and Leisure (CHS40608, 2014), a Level 2 Recreational Running Coaching Certificate (Athletics Australia, 2014) and her Certificate in Senior First Aid (Sports Medicine Australia, 2014). In 2015, back home, she continued her training and studies. Even category 4 Cyclone Lam, which devastated her community, was no obstacle, and Rachel went on to become the first-ever Yolngu woman to complete the Tokyo Marathon – a breathtaking 42km run. While completing her Certificate IV in Business (Governance), Rachel has her sights set on running in Brazil.

In addition to her academic and athletic prowess, Rachel has business success. She is also the first Yolngu woman to independently start and operate a business. As her clothing business expands, Rachel is educating and readying herself for sustainable growth and for when her time comes to be more active in local governance

About the artist

David MolloyI was born and grew up in Cairns, Queensland and am a descendant of the Ku Ku Yalanji tribe. My art attempts to honour and recognize my ancestors/family and reflect the importance of my Aboriginal heritage. It is a medium which ties closely with my identity and my culture, of which I am very proud. I feel blessed to come from a fairly creative family as many of my family are either good artists, dancers or musicians. The favourite aspects of my art involve the designing and/or creating stages and my art blends traditional Aboriginal and contemporary Australian styles.

With respect to my piece “Yalanji Ngawiya”, when I was younger I was taught to hunt Ngawiya (sea turtles) by my uncles with harpoons because that is what you did, but they do not hunt them anymore. I feel proud of my uncles who were very good and skillful hunters, especially under the water. I feel lucky to be have been taught by them many things. They really loved eating turtle and this piece tries to honour their memory and what they could achieve as hunters in the fresh and salt water. Personally I really like Ngawiya (sea turtle) and see them as truly majestic creatures of the sea. I also acknowledge them as one the worlds most ancient creatures.
