Acknowledgement of country

Batchelor Institute would like to acknowledge and pay respect to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander sovereign people of the lands on which our campuses are located. As we share our knowledge, teaching and learning and engage in research practices within this Institution and/or conduct business with a variety of external agencies and organisations, we must always pay respect to the sovereign status of our hosts. May their Ancestors always be remembered and honoured, their Elders listened to and respected, all members treated with dignity and fairness — in the present and well into the future.

We also acknowledge and pay respect to the knowledge embedded forever with our hosts, custodianship of country and the binding relationship they have with the land. Batchelor Institute extends this acknowledgment and expression of respect to all sovereign custodians — past, present and emerging. By expressing Acknowledgement of Country we encourage all to extend and practice respect to all First Nations people wherever their lands are located.

Jennetta Quinn Bates

Jennetta Quinn Bates a CUA41215 Cert IV Screen and Media student from BIITE has just landed herself a job with the ABC working out of the Alice Springs Bureau.

Jennetta will be taking up the position of Content Maker – Regional Trainee this Monday April the 1st 2019. Jennetta excelled in the area of reporting during the inaugural BIITE Yarns show produced by the Cert IV and Diploma students in 2018. BIITE Yarns is a 20 minute magazine type program encompassing short segments and on the couch scenes.

A proud Baakindji Woman from Muswellbrook NSW, Jennetta started studying Media as a stepping stone to acting and performing arts which has always been her ultimate passion.

However she soon learnt that Media was the perfect avenue to share stories of Indigenous Australians, their history, and to bring awareness to challenges faced by First Nations People and their communities.
Jennetta’s father and his siblings were a part of the stolen generations so restoring and preserving her Indigenous culture is very important to her.

“Of all broadcasting networks I could work for, ABC would be my first choice, as I admire their policies regarding delivering fact based news. I feel my morals and their values both align with each other so I’m really happy to have been given this amazing opportunity”
