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.

On Friday, May 3rd a Batchelor Institute Community Graduation was held in Yirrkala at the Buku-Larrnggay Mulka Centre for seventeen Rangers who manage their Indigenous Protected Areas in North East Arnhem Land. Sixteen Yirralka (part of the Laynhapuy Homelands Aboriginal Corporation) Rangers and one Dhimurru Ranger (part of the Dhimurru Aboriginal Corporation) celebrated the completion of the Certificate II in Conservation and Land Management at the graduation. A community presentation was also held at Gapuwiyak community on May 1st.

Ranger djama (work) is recognised as, doing important work, looking after country and rangers are respected and seen as role models in their communities. The rangers were acknowledged at the graduation for their hard work and continuing training to gain skills for the ongoing and future management of their land and sea country.
