We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the Torres Strait Nation.

We pay our respects to all Elders, past and present.

Tagai State College is unlike any other school in Australia. Our 17 school campuses and TAFE facility are spread across 15 islands and 48,000 square kilometres. We provide educational services to students aged from 3.5 years to adulthood.

Tagai State College prides itself on delivering the highest standards of teaching and learning in a context that reflects the aspirations of the Torres Strait Nation. This unique fusion of identity, culture, history and community is described in Tagai State College as YUMI Education.

Through our focus on YUMI, the College is emerging as a Centre of Excellence in Pacific Studies. Our focus is on delivering excellence across 4 key study areas:

• Marine Studies

• Torres Strait Art (Dance, Music and Visual Arts)

• Torres Strait Culture & Language

• Sports Development

In partnership with the Torres Strait Nation, Tagai State College is committed to ensuring every student is challenged to be proud of the unique identity of the Torres Strait and confident in a global society.
