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.

Screen and media students can enjoy using industry standard software and equipment in the studio at Batchelor campus.

Batchelor Institute screen and media students presented a live on-air show from Radio Rum Jungle 95.3 FM at the Batchelor campus studio on 7 April 2022.

The students’ smooth and confident voices intertwined with the sounds of classic tracks for a day that was evidently enjoyed by listeners across the Territory.

“Through the screen and media program at Batchelor campus, our students have access to industry standard software and equipment utilising new innovations in technology,” said creative industries lecturer Patrick McKenzie.

“With support from Top End Aboriginal Bush Broadcasting, our students have the opportunity to practice their skills in a real-world environment with the capability to communicate to 29 remote communities and beyond,” he added.

The Top End Aboriginal Bush Broadcasting Association (TEABBA) Network provides operational support for remote broadcasting units known as Remote Indigenous Broadcasting Services (RIBS), which includes 95.3 FM from Batchelor. The show was broadcast live to all 29 remote communities across the network and streamed online.

It was the first live on-air radio show for many of the students, who are completing a Certificate III in Screen and Media (course code CUA31020). The course helps prepare students with skills and knowledge for future roles in the screen, media and entertainment industries, and can lead to a Certificate IV in Screen and Media (course code CUA41220).

“Our students are leading the way,” Mr McKenzie said, “in telling First Nations people’s stories.”

After last month’s success, students are set to broadcast live once again on the TEABBA Network from 12pm to 5pm ACST on 6 May 2022. Tune in on 95.3 FM in Batchelor, or through the TEABBA website or mobile app.
