Our Vision & Mission
“With leadership and guidance from Tiwi; our College community uses a holistic approach to develop key knowledge and skills required for vocational choices and happy, rewarding and healthy lives.”
The print, Terra Aequilibrium is used as a guide for the culture of Tiwi College. The ochre markings represent Indigenous country, the blue – non-Indigenous country. Both come together in the middle – a path used by both cultures moving into the future, in the spirit of parity and equality. This guides the Tiwi College approach at all levels. Tiwi and non-Tiwi work with one another, with respect shown to all cultures. We are here to learn from one another in order to move forward to a future of mutual trust and understanding; where "both worlds" are recognised and respected.
The cornerstone of the culture of our College comprises of the following values: Trust, Care, Empathy, Respect.
