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.

Six students from Galiwin’ku and Milingimbi graduated at a ceremony in Darwin on 8 April 2022 as part of the Remote Aboriginal Teacher Education (RATE) program.

Batchelor Institute is pleased to be among those delivering content for the RATE program, which supports Aboriginal educators and assistant teachers aspiring to become fully qualified teachers.

With unparalleled knowledge of local contexts and languages in remote settings, these educators and assistant teachers have the potential to go on to pivotal roles in their communities.

Into the future, RATE participants could enable improved learning outcomes among students in the classroom and well as facilitating culturally responsive both-ways education.

On behalf of the Department of Education, lecturers from Batchelor Institute and Charles Darwin University deliver tailored unit content for RATE through workshops at pilot sites and in online tutorials.

Batchelor Institute’s Prof Gareth Allison said the program was a valuable and impactful part of teacher education in the Northern Territory that provided unique support for students.

“Batchelor is proud to be a part of delivering unit content for RATE. I congratulate these six graduates on their achievements, and I very much look forward to seeing more talented students come through the program in the coming months,” he said.

In addition to the six recent graduates in Darwin, another seven participants are expected to receive their Undergraduate Certificate Remote Educators in Alice Springs in June, and more participants are expected to graduate later in the year.

“The Remote Aboriginal Teacher Education model creates a talent pipeline that drives growth and ensures future sustainability of our Aboriginal educator workforce in Territory education settings,” said Minister for Education Lauren Moss.

“Teachers have the biggest in-school impact on positive student learning outcomes. Positive, energetic, culturally responsive and skilled educators motivate children and young people to engage in learning and experience success,” she added.
