Reconciliation Statement The University of Newcastle declares its commitment to Aboriginal reconciliation: developing a strong community and fostering mutual respect, social justice and a united voice between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and non-Aboriginal Australians.

The University of Newcastle respects and acknowledges the Aboriginal land on which the Australian campuses of the University are located. We acknowledge the Aboriginal nations on whose traditional lands the University has a presence, respecting and acknowledging the traditional peoples and the cultural significance and history of the land.

The University is aware of the impact of the alienation and other forms of injustices including the removal of children, the loss of land, the destruction of languages and culture, and the ongoing struggle for social and restorative justice. Through acknowledging and understanding past losses and injustices and through committing to redressing the social and economic challenges and ongoing racism, we will continue to move forward together to a better future.

The University recognises that education plays an integral role in providing a foundation and platform for the exercise of self-determination and the empowerment of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Through collaboration and the provision of culturally responsive education the University seeks to educate and contribute to the development of a harmonious community.

The University’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities have supported the University in ensuring an Aboriginal presence at the University and appropriate and effective levels of consultation and collaboration through the sharing of Aboriginal voices, cultural wisdom and knowledge. These attributes are essential to moving forward to a future of equality and respect in teaching and learning, research, cultural inclusion, celebrating diverse cultures and success. The University acknowledges and appreciates the contribution and support by all communities. We will continue to build on existing partnerships and wherever possible forge respectful relationships designed to contribute to the ongoing endeavour of redressing the circumstance of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander education, health, cultures, languages, social justice, employment and empowerment.

The University is committed to providing an environment that is free from racism and discrimination, developing opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to access and succeed in higher education.

The Graduation Ceremony THE MACE

HONOURS

The Mace is the symbol of formal authority. The Mace used today belongs to the University of Newcastle and was designed by gold and silversmith, Gerald Benney. It is made of Australian walnut and silver and its head represents an open book – the traditional symbol of learning. The Mace was a gift from the University of New South Wales to commemorate the establishment of the University of Newcastle as an autonomous institution on 1 January 1965. It is always borne ahead of the Chancellor in the academic procession during formal ceremonies such as today’s presentation of academic awards.

The award of Honours is given to students who complete an additional year of study after the completion of a bachelor’s degree.

Some bachelor’s degrees, such as Engineering or Education, have Honours embedded in the four year degree program. Honours generally consists of part coursework and part research requiring submission of a thesis. Honours can be awarded as Class I, Class II Division 1, Class II Division 2, or Class III.

THE UNIVERSITY OF NEWCASTLE FANFARE The Fanfare is performed at all ceremonial functions to herald the entry and departure of the Chancellor and other members of the Council. It was composed by Professor Robert Constable and first performed in 1994.

THE UNIVERSITY MEDAL The award of a University Medal is an honour made only when there is a candidate of sufficient merit. To be considered for this award, a graduate must have a consistent record of exceptional academic achievement at all levels of their degree program, and qualify with the highest level of that degree.

WITH DISTINCTION A bachelors or masters degree is conferred with distinction in cases where a candidate has achieved a Grade Point Average of 6.0 or above in the degree, out of a maximum of 7.0.

COMBINED DEGREE A combined degree is one where a student studies for two separate degrees at the same time. It is possible for the student to complete the degree requirements for one degree ahead of the other. The student receives a testamur for each degree. Places for combined degrees are very competitive and offered to the highest performing students who apply.

MUSICAL INTERLUDE During the graduation ceremony, students, graduates and staff from the University of Newcastle’s Conservatorium of Music entertain and demonstrate their skills and passion for music.

GRADUATION – OCTOBER 2015

A Brief History Of Graduation The graduation ceremony is one of great antiquity. Its essential features have been the same since the 12th century when the first universities came into existence. Its necessary constituents are the Chancellor or his or her Deputy, the academic staff, the graduates, and the public.

clothes which they were wearing underneath. The hood was the normal medieval headwear, but it soon acquired a coloured lining.

By the 17th century, if not earlier, these colours were strictly controlled so that anyone could identify from the colour of a graduate’s hood, the university and the degree.

The church had a monopoly of education, partly because it was the guardian of true doctrine, and partly because clerics were almost the only people who could read and write. As a result, the only person who could license a teacher was the bishop of a diocese until, under pressure of other business; he deputed the task to his chief secretary or chancellor.

The public is the fourth participant. It has an important function because the whole point of the proceedings is that they should be seen and heard by valid witnesses. The public hears the words of the Dean and the Chancellor and sees the new graduates dressed in their respective gowns or robes.

The second group participating in the ceremony is the academic staff. In the 12th century they would all have been called “masters” or MAs. At that date they were paid no salaries, but hired their own lecture rooms and charged their own fees. But they also formed themselves into a guild or union, which is what universitas originally meant. In the 13th century they won a great victory when they persuaded the Pope to decree that chancellors were obliged to confer degrees on all those nominated by the masters. That is why the masters examine the candidates, why the Dean, acting as their spokesperson, reads out the names of those who are to receive degrees, and why the masters at this ceremony watch to see that the Chancellor or his Deputy does what is required of him.

Thirdly the graduates. The word “degree” comes from the Latin gradus, which means “a step”. When students are admitted to a bachelor degree they move one step up towards the mastership.

When they are admitted to a master’s degree they climb another step and come up on a level with the masters, who then receive them into their guild or universitas.

The academic gowns are derived from the everyday dress of the medieval clergy. In the Middle Ages they were not open in front, but closed like a clergyman’s cassock. It was in about 1500 that academics had the front opened up so as to display the fine

The foregoing is an adaptation of an address given at a graduation ceremony at the University of Birmingham by Emeritus Professor R H C Davis and reprinted in his book ‘From Alfred the Great to Stephen’ (Hambledon Press, 1991), pp. 307-309. It is reproduced with kind permission of the author’s widow.

Aboriginal stole The red, yellow and black stoles are worn by Aboriginal students and staff during graduation and relate to the colours of the Aboriginal flag. The colours of the Aboriginal flag represent the land (red), the sun (yellow) and the people (black).

Torres Strait Islander stole The green, blue and black stoles are worn by Torres Strait Islander students during graduation and relate to the colours of the Torres Strait Island flag. The colours of the Torres Strait Island flag represent the land (green), the sea (blue) and the people (black).

The University of Newcastle is a national leader in the attraction and success of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students. The wearing of the stoles celebrates culture and identity in a significant ceremony that also celebrates success.

Giving Shapes Lives The University of Newcastle (UON) would like to express its gratitude to the many donors and sponsors who support the University. Donations help fund research that could save a life, contribute to community projects and support students to complete their degrees through scholarships and prizes.

Around 250 scholarships and 280 prizes - all funded through donations – will be awarded to students across UON this year.

Thank you to all our generous supporters for your ongoing commitment!

Philanthropy: helping to shape students’ futures At UON we pride ourselves on doing things differently. For 50 years, we’ve pioneered an approach to equity and excellence that has transformed the way we view education. We’ve opened our doors to help thousands of students enter university. And we’ve seen first-hand how the gift of education can change lives.

That’s why we created the Shaping Futures Scholarship Fund: to provide financial assistance to academically dedicated students who are facing hardship.

Shaping Futures Scholarships are entirely funded through donations. These scholarships help cover the cost of tuition fees, travel costs, text books, living and accommodation expenses.

“Giving to a student scholarship is just a small, very tangible way to help. A student who receives a scholarship overcomes their hurdles today and makes an impact on all those around them tomorrow.”

Keryl Kavanagh, Shaping Futures Scholarship Fund donor.

Occasional SPEAKER Dr Moira Gordon AM Dr Moira Gordon is a retired lecturer with a longstanding connection to the University of Newcastle, stretching back to her earliest years at UON from 1957 to 1960 when she worked as a research assistant.

After taking time out from her career to be at home with her young family, which would eventually number five sons and three daughters, Dr Gordon returned to the University as a part-time tutor in 1968. Dr Gordon received her PhD in 1986 and took up a position as lecturer in the Economics Department. Dr Gordon is an Honorary Conjoint Lecturer School of Economics, Politics and Tourism.

Dr Gordon was married to the late Professor Barry Gordon - a founding member of what is now the Faculty of Business and Law at the University of Newcastle, perhaps the best known economics and business scholar associated with the University.

An active community member, Dr Gordon has served on the Newcastle Beyond 2000 and the Upper Hunter Beyond 2000 committees and on the Board of Directors at Novaskill, a local not-for-profit company that focuses on skill development across a range of Vocational Education and Training (VET) areas. She has also served as the Chair of the Newcastle Catholic Parish Pastoral Council and was involved in the Commission for Australian Catholic Women in the Maitland-Newcastle Diocese.

Dr Gordon has been the President of NERLA – the UON Retired Lecturer’s Association which provides an opportunity for retired academic UON staff to maintain contact with former friends and colleagues and to stay in touch with the changes in university life.

In 2005, Dr Gordon was awarded the Member of the Order of Australia (AM), “For service to economic and social development in the Hunter region, particularly as a contributor to decision making processes of the boards of community organisations, and to tertiary education.”

Occasional SPEAKER Ms Joanne McCarthy Ms Joanne McCarthy is a University of Newcastle alumna, completing a Bachelor of Arts in 2003. She has worked as a journalist for 35 years, and was awarded Australian journalism’s most prestigious award, the Gold Walkley, in 2013.

Ms McCarthy was born in Gosford and lived most of her life on the Central Coast, attending schools in the area. A brief venture into a nursing career ended in 1978 when Ms McCarthy made plans to undertake a degree in librarianship. At the same time she was encouraged to apply for a cadetship at the Gosford Star newspaper. Joanne secured the cadetship in 1980 before later moving to a role at the Central Coast Express Advocate.

In 1996, while still working at the Express Advocate, Ms McCarthy began the University of Newcastle’s Open Foundation course, originally intending a shift to a career in law. Ultimately her love of journalism prevailed, and she went on to study a Bachelor of Arts at the University of Newcastle, during which time she moved on to work at the Newcastle Herald, the Hunter’s largest local media organisation and the only Newcastle-based daily newspaper serving the Hunter and Central Coast.

It is Ms McCarthy’s work on more than 350 articles for the Herald series ‘Shine the Light’, investigating child sex abuse in the Catholic Church, which has garnered high profile attention, including a letter from then Prime Minister Julia Gillard. During her final moments in office Ms Gillard wrote to Ms McCarthy to thank her for her “persistence and courage” in the ‘Shine the Light’ investigations and the associated campaign for a royal commission. The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse was established in 2013 with its final report slated for December 2017.

Ms McCarthy was the subject of the ABC TV program ‘Australian Story’ in August 2014. Fellow UON alumnus and Newcastle Herald Editor, Chad Watson, said of Ms McCarthy, “Her work will reverberate long after the headlines are faded.”

Occasional SPEAKER Professor Jenny Gamble Professor Jenny Gamble has been a midwife since 1983. She pioneered caseload midwifery care in Queensland and in 1992 became the first Queensland midwife to gain visiting rights to a Queensland hospital. Outcomes from her practice matched the best in the world for the safety of the mother and baby. The strategic focus of Professor Gamble’s initiatives in higher education, as a professional leader and in research, is aimed at reforming maternity services through strengthening the role of the midwife.

Professor Gamble was appointed to Griffith University in 2003, and since moving to the tertiary education sector she has built a strong, credible academic team and developed an award-winning Bachelor of Midwifery program, which is rated amongst the ‘Top 5’ Griffith programs.

Professor Gamble has also introduced an innovative, high-demand Master of Primary Maternity Care. Her research focuses on critiquing medical interventions in birth; psycho-education interventions to improve women’s emotional health; and enhancing the role of the midwife. She has authored over 90 peer-reviewed published papers and several book chapters and has been awarded over $2 million in research funds including a $650,000 NHMRC project grant (2008-2010).

Professor Gamble has a strong profile in professional leadership and has held executive positions with various organisations including the Australian College of Midwives. She has held several Ministerial appointments to boards and committees and in 2007 was awarded a Churchill Fellowship to investigate best practice models of maternity services for socially disadvantaged women.

She is currently Chair of Midwifery Maternity Provider Organisation Australia (MMPOA): a new organisation aimed at promoting access to continuity of midwifery care.
