The Derkenne Courtyard
Named after: Warren G. Derkenne
On the 14th August 2012 the newly re-designed and refurbished Derkenne Courtyard was re-opened to the University community. The Derkenne Courtyard was originally named in 1990 in honour of Warren Derkenne (1933-1999), the former President of the University Union (1964-1966) and Warden of Convocation.
The University of Newcastle acknowledges the traditional custodians of the lands within our footprint areas: Awabakal, Darkinjung, Biripai, Worimi, Wonnarua, and Eora Nations. We also pay respect to the wisdom of our Elders past and present.
