Extract

Walking across that stage, no-one can take that feeling away because it's really special to you. You feel really, really proud — even though it took a long time to do it and to get there.

(Ruth Anangka, one of the first AnTEP graduates, Pers. Comm., 1995)

With permed hair, academic gowns and proud smiles of achievement, two more groups of Aboriginal women have walked the length of the red carpet on the stage of the Adelaide Festival Theatre during university graduation ceremonies. Amid hoots and cheers from University staff seated on the stage (also wearing gowns and smiles of pride) on the 29th May 1995, six more women from the far north west of South Australia, and one from Alice Springs, were awarded the Associate Diploma of Education. Six months later, on the 6th October 1995, two more women from the north west were presented with the Diploma of Teaching.
