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.

Whilst the 2020 Graduation will be online the spirit of the Graduation Ceremony remains.

Today isadayof celebration and As Chair of Batchelor Instituteof Indigenous Tertiary Education’s Council I would like to offer Chair’s Statement Ms Pat AndersonAOMs 2020Batchelor Campus Graduation 2020|5 Message from the CEO

Graduation ceremonies are an exciting time at the Institute. They are an opportunity to come together to celebrate, the achievement of our students. However, this year, like so many other things, our graduation ceremony needed to be done differently and we are coming together in new ways.

What remains the same, is how incredibly proud we are of all of our graduands. On behalf of all of Batchelor Institute’s staff, I would like to congratulate you on your achievement that is being recognised today.

We all like to celebrate the end result of your graduation – and it is important that we do so. This year I’d also like to also applaud your resilience, tenacity and commitment to your education. In addition to the normal challenges of study – the long hours of learning, spending hours at your desks, in classrooms or other places of learning – in 2020 you’ve also had to contend with COVID-19.

This has created stress and uncertainty in life as well as study. However, you’ve remained committed to your education and training.

I would also like to commend the staff of the Institute for your ongoing hard work and dedication. As well as for students, this year has been a difficult for staff. However, you’ve remained focused on our mission which is to provide training and education for First Nations’ people. You’ve found new ways to deliver training, and in some cases returned to the tried and true methods of education delivery.

Professor Steve Larkin, Chief Executive Officer

Batchelor Campus Graduation 2020|21 2020Island Thursday Darwin Nowra Coolalinga Farrar Wilsonton Heights Nakara Moulden Leanyer Student response Sandra Delaney* Doctor of Philosophy

Growing up I never considered myself a stand out student during primary and high school. I only went to Year 10 and even though I asked the high school guidance officer if I could go onto Years 11 & 12, I was told ‘no’ I wouldn’t be able to and that I wouldn’t cope, I wasn’t given a choice. That was the attitude of teachers when I went through high school in the 1970s. After I finished school, I was sent to deportment classes and then to Business College to learn admin skills along with many other Indigenous girls. Despite this, I went on to complete teaching degree and two postgraduate degrees in the late 1980s and 1990s.

When I attended my first Masterclass at Batchelor campus in 2018, self-doubt crept in with the voice of my high school teachers in my head and I thought ‘this mob here in this Masterclass seem to be very smart as I was really impressed with their research topics. And I thought how am I going to cope?’ But in the end, I worked hard to achieve the goal I set and to be honest, I have loved every minute of my PhD journey, I have learnt so much from it, it has been life-changing.

*Sandra Delaney was awarded the Doctor of Philosophy at an earlier community graduation.
