Tagai


The people throughout the Torres Strait are united by their connection to the stars of the Tagai. The Tagai consists of stories which are the cornerstone of Torres Strait Islanders' spiritual beliefs. These stories focus on the origins of these stars and identify Torres Strait Islanders as sea people who share a common way of life. The movements of Tagai across the sky instruct the world order, predicting new seasons and ensuring everything has a place.
 

Interactive Whiteboards @ Tagai Campuses

Students and Teachers at Dauan Island Campus recently had the latest in interactive teaching resources installed in their classroom. The Teamboard Interactive Whiteboards allow teachers to display a computer screen on a large whiteboard which then becomes a giant touchscreen. Teacher Miss Nina Gibbs, seen with some of the lucky students from Dauan, is learning how to use this valuable resource in her daily lessons. Since mid 2007 there has been over 20 of the IWBs (Interactive Whiteboards) installed in almost all campuses. Those without them will have them installed very shortly. Teachers have commented on how the IWB has changed the way they teach. It is great to see the latest technology being used to teach students in some of the most remote schools in Australia. Tagai plans to increase the amount of IWBs in our schools over the coming months.
