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 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 tne 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.
