JCU acquired this artwork as part of our commitment to implement the Reconciliation
Action Plan. The artwork represents JCU’s story in an Australian Aboriginal and Torres
Strait Islander way:
• Circles in the middle depicts JCU as a meeting place
• Outer circles are JCU’s linkages to communities through their students who return
home to share their new knowledge and understandings
• Different patterns within the hands and arms are the differences between and within
Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander, and multicultural Australia. There are also similarities
in the hands and arms used to illustrate us standing together for equity and equality
• The ripple effect in the arms and hands represents our reconciliation journey; starting
small, growing bigger and reaching out to touch more and more lives. The effect
gathers momentum to develop support and understandings. The circles represent the
importance of yarning circles, meeting circles, and communities, in order that we can
connect with each other.
This publication is intended as a general guide for prospective international students. All applicants should contact the University to confirm admission requirements, fees and availability of courses.
