Port Macquarie Campus A brief history Improving access to tertiary education opportunities and meeting the changing employment needs of the Mid North Coast region is the aim of the University of Newcastle (UON) Port Macquarie Campus, which for more than a decade, has been training nurses and teachers, who are now making a difference in their local communities. Since the first cohort of 24 UON Port Macquarie Bachelor of Nursing students began studying from the Port Macquarie Campus in February 2004, more than 282 nurses, 191 primary school teachers and 14 midwives have completed their programs without leaving the region, with the majority then going on to find work in local hospitals and schools, helping to meet the growing need for qualified professionals in the region. With a recognised need for qualified midwives on the Mid North Coast, UON Port Macquarie together with the Mid North Coast Local Health Network, increased its program offerings to include the Bachelor of Midwifery in 2012. Community interest in advancing higher education on the Mid North Coast, lead to the formation of the Hastings Higher Education Consultative Group in 2002, which aimed to develop the region’s higher education opportunities, develop pathways to university, and minimise the need for residents to leave the region to pursue university studies.
The University seized the invitation to be part of the initiative, and less than a year later signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the TAFE NSW - North Coast Institute, to create a multi-sector tertiary campus in Port Macquarie. Through this joint approach, the Port Macquarie Campus now boasts purpose-built teaching spaces, including a $10 million investment of Federal and State Government funds, for improved library and information services, administration and student facilities on campus. In 2015, a total of 90 students completed UON Bachelor of Nursing, Bachelor of Primary Teaching/Arts and Bachelor of Midwifery programs at the Port Macquarie Campus, with many of those students having articulated through TAFE to continue their studies through the UON. The student cohort at UON Port Macquarie will continue to grow, with 120 new students commencing programs at the campus in 2016.

GRADUATION – FEBRUARY 2016
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 played 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.

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

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.

UON graduate fostering quality health care on the Mid North Coast Stewart Dowrick Master of Business Administration 1997 Port Macquarie local and UON graduate, Stewart Dowrick, has passionately advocated for improved access to quality health care for communities for more than 20 years. As the Chief Executive of the Mid North Coast Local Health District (MNCLHD), considered one of the leading rural health authorities in NSW, Stewart oversees an operating budget of $530 million, more than 4,000 staff and multi-million dollar projects including the $104-million expansion of Port Macquarie Base Hospital and $81.9-million Kempsey District Hospital Redevelopment Project. Stewart specialises in health economics, hospital and corporate service management and began his career in health in 1990 at the then Camperdown Children’s Hospital, before moving to the Central Coast Area Health Service in 1993 and the Mid North Coast in 1999. Dedicated to nurturing the skills of ambitious UON students, Stewart has actively sought clinical placements within the MNCLHD for students in all medicine, nursing and allied health accredited programs. “I think it’s vitally important to give aspiring health professionals real-world experience and I’m fortunate to be in the position where I can help facilitate this,” Stewart said. In acknowledgment of his efforts, the MNCLHD was inducted into the Work Integrated Learning (WIL) Hall of Fame at UON in 2015. Last year Stewart was also awarded the UON Alumni Award for Regional Leadership that recognises a graduate who has made significant contributions as a leader in regional business, commerce, industry or public service.

A light at the end of the tunnel Graduation is a time for celebration, to look forward to the future and to reflect on how far you’ve come. For some students, the journey to the graduation stage has been paved with more than study-related challenges. Annie Nichols always wanted to work in healthcare and in early 2016 she will graduate from UON with an undergraduate physiotherapy degree made possible by the generosity of others. The bright, enthusiastic and motivated student received a lifeline in her first-year in the form of a $4,000 Shaping Futures Scholarship. Like Annie, some students face challenges such as health issues, financial hardship, disabilities, carer responsibilities or family problems that can make completing a university degree seem out of reach. Shaping Futures Scholarships are awarded to promising students who have been affected by hardships. “This scholarship was ‘a light at the end of a tunnel’,” Annie said.

Annie recognises the impact of her scholarship and last year raised more than $3,200 to support other students through the Shaping Futures Scholarship Endowment Fund. “I want to make a difference to others like myself and I think it’s fantastic to have students helping each other,” she said. “My hope is that many more students can have the same opportunity that was given to me.” You can help other deserving students cross the graduation stage by giving the gift of education and making a donation to the Shaping Futures Scholarship Endowment Fund.
