A Message from the Chancellor
As Chancellor of Charles Darwin University it is an honour and a privilege to congratulate
the graduands of 2007.
Charles Darwin University was formed through the merging of institutions such as the
Northern Territory University, Centralian College, the Northern Territory Rural College and
Menzies School of Health Research. This state of the art institution has grown into a place
of learning for more than 18,000 students.
Charles Darwin University offers a fresh approach to education, with a wide range of study
options, excellent standards of teaching and an engaging learning environment. This is a
university that aims to inspire its students to acquire the skills and knowledge to change
their worlds for their own good and the good of the community.
As well as being a celebration of knowledge, graduation ceremonies allow students to
share their pride and satisfaction in achieving their goals with their families, friends, and the
University staff who have supported and encouraged them throughout their studies.
Graduation is not a farewell to the Charles Darwin University. We look forward to welcoming
back graduands as members of the Alumni or through continuing formal studies and to the
many symposia, lectures, concerts and events at the University.
Congratulations again to the Charles Darwin University graduates of 2007. We have no
doubt we will be hearing of your continuing achievements in your work and the community
in the future.
Richard Ryan, AO

A Message from the Vice-Chancellor
Each of you, tonight’s graduates, has grown in knowledge, knowhow and understanding
during your time as students at Charles Darwin University. Each of you, by deploying these
attributes to the greatest possible extent, will make a difference; a difference to your own
future, the future of your families, your community, the Northern Territory and the global
community.
You will be part of a rapidly changing world, where the only certainty is the development
of new knowledge and new ways of doing things – ongoing change is simply part of life.
Change provides opportunities and I hope you will welcome change and successfully ride the
waves that produce it. Remember Charles Darwin, the namesake of the Territory’s university
once said, “It is not the strongest of the species that survive, not the most intelligent, but the
one most responsive to change.”
The amount of information on any subject is growing at an ever-increasing rate and
technology is changing the way we do things. To move from being a novice and eventually to
expert we all must continue to learn and to apply those learning’s. We must keep on learning
in new fields as our roles change or we slip back down the ladder to being a novice. I hope
your time at Charles Darwin University has resulted in you having a love of learning for life
and that you will be open to new ideas and to doing things differently in years ahead.
With its roots in the Northern Territory University College founded in 1986, the Darwin
Institute of Technology, established from predecessor organisations the Northern Territory
Rural College, Centralian College and Menzies School of Health Research, Charles Darwin
University has a proud history of achievement.
As graduates of Charles Darwin University, you are becoming alumni of a University that sees
its role as providing vibrant learning, life-changing experiences and graduating individuals
with the foundation to be excellent thinkers, workers and citizens: a University that equips its
graduates with the generic skills to thrive in the complex world at large, joining thousands
of alumni in making their mark around the world and to take on the particular challenges of
the Northern Territory.
I hope you have enjoyed your university experience. I hope you will continue to learn and
that through your words and actions you will contribute to the development and reputation
of the Charles Darwin University, a university that aspires to work with its alumni, wherever
they may be, to provide an enriching experience. This evening is one of celebration; you have
achieved a significant milestone and we are proud of you. All of us in the University join with
your family and friends in saying “congratulations”.

Northern Territory
The Australian Federation of University Women (Northern Territory) Inc (AFUW-NT) provided
assistance in gowning for the Graduation ceremony this evening. This is a fund-raising activity
providing scholarships for Northern Territory, and now East Timorese, women students.
We presently offer three $1 000 scholarships annually in the Northern Territory – one each
to an undergraduate, a postgraduate and one identified for an Indigenous woman student.
In 2005/6 the inaugural presentation ceremony for women studying at the Universidade
Nacional Timor Lorosae, was held in Dili in March 2006. To fund these activities we plan to
increase our membership base, seek the support of regular donors and continue to provide
volunteers for CDU Graduation ceremonies.
This year we also decided to include the AFUW NT Scholarships in the CDU scholarship
process and award ceremony. We hope this will promote both the AFUW-NT and the three
scholarships, as well as contributing to the CDU scholarships program. Thanks to Diana Jarvis
and Orr Thomason of CDU Foundation for supporting this new arrangement.

Thesis title: ‘Did Johann Sebastian Bach write the Six Master of Business Administration (Consultancy)
Cello Suites?’ Kaokoon Ruksomboondee
The purpose of my research was to investigate the Master of Community Development and
compositional origins of the Bach Six Cello Suites. I Management
have been aware, since my student days at the Royal Julian Robinson
Academy of Music in London, that it is believed that
the original manuscript was lost, and that the only Master of Creative Arts by Research
complete manuscript, is a copy by Anna Magdalena, Regis Alain Michel Martin
Johann Sebastian Bach’s second wife (her handwriting, Catriona Gay Stanton
it is also believed, is almost identical to Johann
Sebastian). As a result of my desire to resolve the Master of International Management
handwriting conundrums, I undertook an extensive Jason Carl Alber
period of study to become a trained Forensic Daniel Thomas Bacon
Document Examiner. My thesis presents the findings Caroline May Barnes
of the scientific examination of manuscripts and Philip John Blumberg
other written documents attributed to both Johann Sandra Maree Cartwright
Sebastian Bach and Anna Magdalena. What has been Maurice D'Arrigo
revealed is that, at the very least, our understanding of Kristopher John Evans
the role of Anna Magdalena in her husband’s musical Cindy Lee McGarry
output must now be re-evaluated. Alasdair David McLay

Thesis Title: ‘Coloureds and Catholics: A Colonial
Subject's Narrative of the Factors and Processes that Master of Professional Accounting
led to the Colonisation and Conversion of Coloureds at Seiko Harada
Garden Point Mission, 1941-1967’
Senior Executive Master of Business
The purpose of the thesis was to examine and discuss Administration
some of the factors and processes involved in the Stuart Fitch
colonising of the north. The research method used
was a mixture of personal interviews as well as a Graduate Diploma in Business (Management
substantive literature review of both indigenous and

non-indigenous reactions and responses to a wide

range of “Aboriginal” and indigenous historical and

other data.“Coloureds and Catholics” is a colonised
Graduate Diploma in Leadership and Change
subject’s historical narrative establishing some of
Management
the truths about the forces of colonialism. It offers

the opportunity for indigenous historians’ voices to

address those western voices that ignore the truth
Andrew John Bridges
and reality of colonisation. The aim of the work is to

offer alternative narratives which might encourage

different views into mainstream History and

Aboriginal Studies curricula. Revised curricula could
