Graduation Flags

A row of flags has been placed along the student procession path, between administration building Orange 1 and the Graduation Lawn. These flags are in the colours of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags which include black, red, yellow, white, blue and green. The meanings associated with these colours are listed below.

ABORIGINAL FLAG

Designed by Harold Thomas

Black represents the Aboriginal people of Australia. Red is the ochre colour of the earth and a spiritual relation to the land. Yellow represents the sun, the giver of life and protector. http://aiatsis.gov.au/explore/culture-rights/topic/aboriginal-flag

TORRES STRAIT ISLANDER FLAG

Designed by Bernard Namok

The two green lines represent the mainlands of Australia and Papua New Guinea. The blue between these two continents is the blue of the Torres Strait Island waters. The black links represent the people of the Torres Strait. White represents peace. http://aiatsis.gov.au/explore/culture-rights/topic/ torres-strait-islander-flag Afternoon tea will beserved for allgraduates andguestsin the DiningHall PROCESSION DEPARTURE ACADEMIC OF AND CLOSE CEREMONY OF Edward Richard Lovelock, Master of IndigenousKnowledges STUDENT RESPONSE Department of Trade, Business andInnovation – VET Award MailKoori Award Memorial AwardHarryWilson PRESENTATION AWARDS OF ACHIEVEMENT FOR AND EXCELLENCE Vocational Education and Training Batchelor Institute/CDU Partnership Higher Education andResearch CONFERRAL OF AWARDS Professor Steve Larkin 2018 OF THE GRADUATING OF CLASS WELCOME BY INTRODUCTION CEO AND Honorary Doctor of Education, Dr Wendy Ludwig THE WORLD INDIGENOUS NATIONS UNIVERSITY Cultural Leadership Dr Sue Stanton, Kungarakan Traditional Owner andElder:Executive Advisor Academic and WELCOME TO COUNTRY Lead outby the White Cockatoo Dancers ARRIVAL OF ACADEMIC AND GRADUAND PROCESSION Mr CharlieKing,Indigenousicon andsocialadvocate MASTER OF CEREMONIES Graduation Ceremony Commencing 2.00pm Order of proceedings Dr Stephen Hagan Dr Wendy Ludwig Dr Peter Stephenson 2018Batchelor Campus Graduation 2018 | 3 The graduation ceremony

Traditionally, 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 Islander communities, graphically demonstrating the Both-ways philosophy of Batchelor Institute.

Among the most obvious elements derived from the European tradition of academic graduation 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 the academic level achieved. The guide to academic dress that is located in the back of this booklet will provide you with more details.

Integral to the ceremony are elements that reflect 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 of 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.

Edward Richard Lovelock

Ted Lovelock was born in Southeast Queensland. He grew up on a farm bordered by state forest and a national park. This area, in the Sunshine Coast hinterland was traditionally known for its Bunya nuts and the Bunya Festivals. This country is home to the Gubbi Gubbi, Jinibara, Waka Waka, and Ted’s ancestors.

Ted Lovelock started his tertiary education with Batchelor in 2002. He started with the Foundation Studies (Natural and Cultural Resource Management) and completed the Bachelor of Applied Science (Natural And Cultural Resource Management) in 2006. He was invited to further his studies as a postgraduate.

Ted completed the Graduate Certificate of Indigenous Knowledges in 2011. These courses lay the foundations for him to complete his Masters of Indigenous Knowledges.

Ted’s research for the Masters resulted in a creative works accompanying his exegesis. His research aim was to investigate some of our pre-invasion cultures throughout Australia, and to present a clearer perspective of these cultures. Throughout his literature research a repetitive theme of trade and the immense trade routes that once criss-crossed all of Australia emerged.

To compile this new found data, Ted wrote a novel for his creative works, which presented this trade aspect between children. Butchulla children of Fraser Island trade with children at the Bunya festival, and the story is narrated by an Eastern Water Dragon. To depict the bountifulness of the trade items at these Bunya festivals visited by many cultures, desired trade items traverse the main trade routes of Eastern Australia.

Ted Lovelock’s research journey throughout his Masters contests history, and is the foundation to further his research into trade. Ted says: “By gaining a clearer perspective of our past, cultural justice and recognition may prevail for our future.”
