Tagai State College
|
Tagai State College, like the constellation, is a collection of individual entities that together make up the whole. With each Campus considered as equally unique and important as the stars of Tagai, together they form a College far stronger than the sum of the parts. The 18 campuses of Tagai State College are spread across 15 islands of the Torres Strait – a region close to 48,000 square kilometres in area. The Torres Strait Islander people use the stars of Tagai for navigation. Each star’s position therefore is vital to ensure a safe journey. Like the constellation, each Campus of Tagai State College is committed to our Vision and Mission Statements to ensure we achieve our objective – providing the highest levels of teaching and learning for our students. |
Tagai State College’s name is anchored on the constellation of Tagai, a symbol that unites the people of the Torres Strait. The position of Tagai across the sky instructs the world order, predicting new seasons and ensuring everything has a place.

Students at the Darnley Campus of Tagai State College in the Torres Strait Islands have joined the Marine Debris Project cleaning up a local beach at Erub. The students collected debris from 3250 square metres in just under an hour, then transported it back to their school for sorting and data collection which will be submitted to the National Marine Debris Database. Well done to all students, we are so excited about having so many students in the Torres Strait joining in the project and being proactive in helping to look after their ocean environment. Keep up the great work!
Students from Warraber Island State School, Sea & Land Rangers and community members on Warraber Island in the Torres Strait have launched the Torres Strait Marine Debris Project by running recent beach clean ups on their island.
