Maiem; Sew Ngapa. Welcome to Tagai State College.
We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the Torres Strait Nation and pay our respects to all Elders, past and present.
Tagai State College is unique and unlike any other school. Our 17 school campuses and TAFE facility are spread across 15 islands and 48,000 square kilometres of ocean. We provide education from Kindergarten through to Year 12. We have a specific focus on delivering excellence across two key areas of study:
• Torres Strait Arts, Language & Culture (Dance, Music and Visual Arts)
• Land and Sea Sciences
In partnership with the Torres Strait Nation, Tagai State College is committed to ensuring every student is challenged and supported to be proud learners who are responsible, safe and respectful.
Our brand, Yumi (pron. 'you me') Education, is the merging of academic excellence and with the integrity of students' cultural identity and language in every classroom. We take pride in delivering the highest standards of teaching and learning in a context that reflects the aspirations of the Torres Strait Nation.
I am delighted and privileged to hold the position of Executive Principal of our college. I hope you find our website informative and helpful. Education is indeed a great place to be and I invite you to share that journey with us here.
Au Esoau, Koeyma Eso, Many Thanks,
Michael Ward
Executive Principal
