The Central Coast Campus 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 campus has a presence, respecting and acknowledging the traditional peoples and the cultural significance and history of the land. The Campus 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 Campus 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.

The Campus’ Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities have supported us in ensuring an Aboriginal presence 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 Campus 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.

GRADUATION – JUNE 2012

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. An Honours year generally consists of part coursework and part research requiring submission of a thesis. Honours can be awarded as Class I, Class II Division I, Class II Division II, or Class III.

THE UNIVERSITY OF NEWCASTLE FANFARES In mid-1994, staff and students of the University’s Faculty of Music were invited to submit entries for a competition to compose the University Fanfares. The composition had to be capable of being performed either on organ or on brass. The winning entry by Professor Robert Constable, was first played publicly at the University’s overseas graduation ceremony held in Singapore in August 1994. The Fanfares are performed at all ceremonial functions to herald the entry and departure of the Chancellor and other members of the Council. 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 a bachelor’s degree program, and qualify for a bachelor’s degree with first class honours.

WITH DISTINCTION A bachelor or master 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.

GRADUATION – JUNE 2012

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. The church had a monopoly on 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. As learning spread, teachers wanted a licence to teach not just in one diocese, but everywhere, and the only person who could give them that was the Pope. The Chancellor’s authority, then, came from the Pope. But at the Reformation, Henry VIII assumed for the Crown all the rights which had previously been the Pope’s in England. That is why all subsequent universities in England have been created by Royal Charter. It is for this reason also that the Chancellor does not wear ecclesiastical robes, as would have been worn in the Middle Ages, but robes similar to those of the Lord Chancellor of England. 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. As in all guilds they were insistent that they, and only they, should determine who should be of their number, and since this involved saying who should be teachers, they soon found themselves in conflict with the Chancellor. 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. In the Middle Ages they would then have stayed on the dais, so that their old master could invest them with the symbols of office. But that was only part of the business. The new master had to deliver an inaugural lecture, entertain the whole guild of masters to dinner and preside over disputations for forty days continuously. For that reason, taking one’s master’s degree was called “inception”, or the beginning of one’s career as a master. 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 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 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 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.

Graduates Walk Are you looking to leave your mark on the University of Newcastle? The Graduates’ Walk will give you the opportunity to do it. In 2012, the first pavers will be laid in the Graduates’ Walk. Starting from the fountain between the Great Hall and the Auchmuty Library, the Graduates’ Walk will wind from the heart of the University up the hill to the Great Hall – a bit like the journey you have taken to become a graduate of the university! You can purchase a paver inscribed with your name, degree and year of graduation to be laid in the Walk. The paver will be a permanent reminder of your journey as a student here at the University of Newcastle. The cost of the paver will contribute towards scholarships to assist future students, with a small amount going towards the construction of the Walk. If you are interested in ordering a paver, email alumni@newcastle.edu.au

DONORS FOR 2011 SCHOLARSHIPS AND PRIZES

Scholarship recipient Chloe Britts gives back to the community.

Natalie Scott was given a chance to travel and bring ideas back to Newcastle.

THANK YOU We would like to thank the donors and sponsors who generously provided financial support for scholarships and prizes for our students in 2011.

GRADUATION – JUNE 2012

Daniel Frost says winning his scholarship was definitely the highlight of his first year at university.

Donor Jennie Thomas gives with a warm hand and a warm heart to students like Nevida Ackland who won her Jennie Thomas Travelling Art Scholarship.

We would like to thank the donors and sponsors who generously provided financial support for scholarships and prizes for our students in 2011.

“It made things so much easier for me and I came out of my first year on top. I passed all eight of my courses just off a Distinction average.”

The University Foundation’s Executive Officer, Dr Bernie Curran, describes giving to the university as a chance to have a stake in the future.

These young people wouldn’t be where they are today without the support of a scholarship funded by generous community members who give to the University of Newcastle.

“It’s a fantastic opportunity to get involved, support a particular subject or field, or honour a loved one. This year we had more than 4,000 applications for 1,500 scholarships. Our students need your help and a scholarship can transform their life.”

For donor Jennie Thomas, it’s about handing the baton on to the next generation.

Meet Chloe. She is studying psychology and volunteers in the community helping survivors of childhood trauma and abuse. Then there is Natalie who is off to Brazil to study urban renewal projects. She hopes to bring back ideas to use in Newcastle. Daniel Frost has a disability which makes handwriting painful and used his scholarship money to buy a laptop.

“I take great pleasure in watching people grow and bloom. It has been an amazing experience to see how my support can make such a difference.” Anyone interested in establishing a scholarship or prize, or making a donation to one can contact the University of Newcastle Foundation on (02) 4921 7453 or visit www.newcastle.edu.au/foundation

Bronwyn Chambers

Eric Jamieson

A passionate educator and advocate for Indigenous affairs, Mrs Bronwyn Chambers has dedicated more than three decades to improving the education of Aboriginal people.

Mr Eric Jamieson has dedicated more than three decades to Australian education, with a recent focus on improving the educational engagement of students in Sydney’s western suburbs.

She is the Elder in Residence at the University of Newcastle’s Wollotuka Institute, based at Gibalee on the Central Coast campus,,and has worked extensively across the education and health sectors as an educator and as a registered nurse.

As Principal of Plumpton High School for the past six years, the respected educator has made a significant impact on the Mount Druitt community in Sydney’s western suburbs, connecting students from the area’s primary and secondary schools through a mentoring program.

Born in Gosford in 1955, Mrs Chambers lives on Darkinjung country near Wyong and is a descendant of the Lake Macquarie Indigenous community, the Awabakal people. Educated at Wyong High School, Mrs Chambers obtained her NSW State Registered Nursing Certificate at St George Hospital, Kogarah in 1975. In 2004, she completed the Aboriginal Education Assistant Certificate at TAFE NSW – Hunter Institute and went on to complete further training in education fields. Mrs Chambers is a board member of the Darkinjung Local Aboriginal Land Council, President of the Wyong Local Aboriginal Education Consultative Group and Vice-President of the Central Coast Regional Aboriginal Education Consultative Group. As the Department of Education and Communities’ Aboriginal Education Officer at Wyong High School for 13 years, Mrs Chambers worked closely with Central Coast schools, councils and community organisations to offer an Indigenous perspective on proposed training programs and community projects. A founding member and current Chairperson of the Darkinjung Language Group, Mrs Chambers has fought tirelessly to maintain Indigenous cultural identity for future generations and campaigned for the last 11 years to revitalise the Darkinjung tongue of her ancestors.

Mr Jamieson has refocused Plumpton High, a school with a history of poor student attendance and performance, to an environment concentrated on learning and academic performance where students are inspired to be active participants in their education. Mr Jamieson played a pivotal role in the creation of the Plumpton Education Community (PEC), a unique collaboration formed in 2006 to bring together three local primary schools, the high school, Plumpton House special needs school, and Mount Druitt Tutorial Centre, a facility for students with significant behavioural problems. In 2010, Mr Jamieson’s passion for improving the academic performance and job prospects for students of western Sydney schools was formally recognised when he was named by the Sydney Morning Herald’s (Sydney) Magazine as one of the city’s top 100 most influential people. Also in 2010, Mr Jamieson was also awarded the Beacon Foundation’s ‘leader of the year’ award. Beacon is a non-profit organisation that works with schools and businesses to help students transition to the workforce. Plumpton High School also received the Foundation’s ‘best new school of the year’ award. In 2011, Mr Jamieson received the Director-General’s Award for Outstanding leadership and the Western Sydney Regional Director’s award. In addition to his role as Principal of Plumpton High, Mr Jamieson is acting director, Educational Measurement and School Accountability with the NSW Department of Education and is responsible for coordinating the National Assessment Program in NSW and the ACT, leading state-based school review, assessment and analysis.

After returning to Australia in 1999, Mr Abrahams worked as an information technology and telecommunication strategist for various economic development agencies including the NSW Premier’s Department, State and Regional Development and the Office for IT.

He is recognised for his many years of encouragement and support for his students, particularly those at risk of not completing their high school education. Mr Herring’s impact on his students has persisted well after they leave high school. His nomination for this award came from a student he taught more than 20 years ago, who was inspired to go to university three years ago after hearing that Mr Herring was still teaching and still supporting students to success at school. His hard work and dedication to teaching are extraordinary and commendable.

Professor Clive Wright

Leonie De-Bellis

Emeritus Professor Clive Wright is a devoted advocator, educator and researcher in the field of oral health.

Mrs Leonie De-Bellis is a dental hygienist with a commitment to excellence in patient treatment and a career in the dental field spanning 20 years.

Born in New Zealand, Professor Wright completed a Bachelor of Dental Surgery (1968), a Masters of Dental Surgery (1972) and his PhD (1983) at the University of Otago. Throughout his extensive career, he has dedicated his time, passion and research to three main areas: child dental health, preventative dentistry and public dental health. Between 1985 and 1996, Professor Wright played a prominent role in policy development and implementation for state and commonwealth governments, the dental profession and consultancy agencies. As Chair of the Australian Dental Council Accreditation Committee, Professor Wright led the accreditation process for the five Australian dental schools, an historic milestone in the development of Australia’s national standards in dental education. Professor Wright held numerous teaching and research positions in Wales, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, before finishing his academic career in 1997 as Professor of Preventive and Community Dentistry, and Head of the School of Dental Science, at The University of Melbourne. He has since worked in dental public health as Director, Health Promotion and Research with Dental Health Services Victoria; Chief Advisor (Oral Health) with the Ministry of Health in Wellington, New Zealand; and Chief Dental Officer for NSW, a role he held until February this year. In 2002, 2006 and again in 2009, Professor Wright was Visiting Professor in Oral Health at the Graduate School, Tokyo Medical and Dental University where he pursued research into the relationship between oral health and general health in older persons.

Entering the industry as a dental assistant, Mrs De-Bellis’s passion for her community to engage in preventative oral health care grew steadily over the course of her studies. After completing the University of Newcastle’s Open Foundation program in 2004, Mrs De-Bellis enrolled in the Bachelor of Oral Health. Since graduating in 2007, she has held the position of dental hygienist at Erina general practice, GB Dental. In her role, Mrs De-Bellis provides oral health education to children and adults and is highly respected by her employers and patients for her superior clinical and interpersonal skills. In 2010, Mrs De-Bellis graduated with honours from a Bachelor of Health Sciences degree program. During her studies she was appointed a clinical supervisor in the School of Health Sciences at the Central Coast campus in recognition of her advanced practical dental skills. Mrs De-Bellis is a former committee member of the Dental Hygienist Association NSW branch.
