he Batchelor College logo arose out of a college-wide competition held in 1986. The winning design was the work of Isobel
Windy, a teacher education student, from Central Australia.
It combines elements from both Centralian and Top End motifs symbolising the coming together of Aboriginal people. The original
drawing, stylised to form the logo, represents four people sitting around a camp fire telling stories to each other and, in doing so, sharing knowledge.
The logo uses the Aboriginal colours, embracing their symbolic meanings.
• Black represents the Aboriginal people—past, present and future.
• Yellow represents the sun, the giver of life.
• Red represents the earth, red ochre, and spiritual relationship with the land.

atchelor College specialises in the provision of professional and para-professional education and training programs for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, mainly from remote and traditionally oriented
communities of the Northern Territory, other parts of northern Australia and elsewhere.

The college began as a small annex of Kormilda College—then a high school for Aboriginal children on the outskirts of Darwin—in the mid-1960s, providing short programs for Aboriginal teacher aides and assistants in community schools. In 1974, the college moved to Batchelor, about 100 kilometres south of Darwin, and has occupied its present site in the township since 1982.
During 1990, reflecting the educational needs of Aboriginal people from Central Australia, a second campus of the college was established in Alice Springs. Later in the same year, annexes were opened in Darwin, Nhulunbuy, Katherine and Tennant Creek.
Over the last decade, the college's programs have been expanded and diversified in response to the importance Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have placed on gaining accredited awards in the areas of professional and para-professional occupations.
From a 1985 enrolment of about 100 students undertaking one teacher training program, the college has grown to cater for about 1 9 00 students— from about 250 locations—studying about 30 higher education and vocational education and training courses. The majority of students are mature-aged-between 30 and 45 years—while more than 60 per cent of them are women.
Two principles underpin all aspects of the college's life. First, a 'both ways' approach to cultural interaction and cross-cultural learning is followed, bringing together indigenous Australian traditions of knowledge and western academic ideals. Second, the college affirms—through its work and its courses—the aspiration to self- determination held by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
Close links between the college and the communities it serves have led to the development of a 'mixed mode' form of conducting most courses, combining community-based study and research, field study and supervised work experience with short intensive residential workshops at Batchelor or in other regional locations.
Through its significant role of developing innovative approaches to tertiary education for indigenous Australian people from remote communities, Batchelor College continues to attract national and international recognition.

THE GRADUATION CEREMONY
T
raditionally, universities and other tertiary education institutions hold graduation ceremonies to formally confer awards on students who have successfully completed a course of study.
Graduation ceremonies originated in the universities of mediaeval Europe where they were held to celebrate students' achievements of academic qualifications and to recognise their acceptance into an international community dedicated to academic excellence.
At Batchelor College, graduation ceremonies combine European traditions with the cultures of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, graphically demonstrating the college'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 college or because of their existing academic qualifications.
The gowns, hoods and stoles worn by many of those at the ceremony have their origins in patterns that have changed little since the middle ages. Traditionally, the design, colour and decoration of each has come to indicate the status of its wearer by indicating his or her field of study and academic level achieved.
Integral to the ceremony are elements reflecting the cultural background of the Aboriginal and Tones Strait Islander people who make up the student body and a significant proportion of the college's staff.
In particular, graduating students are encouraged to combine traditional decorations and regalia of their culture with their academic dress, emphasising the 'both ways' significance of the occasion.
The ceremony is held out of doors where the predominantly Aboriginal members of the College Council sit in a bough shelter, along with the college's Director, guest speakers and other special guests.
In front of the shelter is a dancing area. Dance forms a major part of the overall ceremony, including its opening and closing moments when the academic procession arrives and departs. In addition, individual students are frequently 'danced' to receive their awards by family and community groups.
Even when students are not accompanied by dancers, they are often escorted by members of their families and communities, reflecting recognition of the shared and collective importance of the student's achievements.
With its 'both ways' blend of traditions and cultures, a Batchelor College graduation ceremony is a unique experience for everyone involved.
