Many efforts have been made to use correct Tiwi language, please understand if there are areas that may not be perfect, we are all still learners in the space of language and cultural preservation.

Sunrise Morning Show
Tiwi College was lucky to have Coles, MasterChef & Essendon Football Club visit the College and do some work with the students. Essendon Football Club ran some fantastic AFL clinics with both our male and female students. They commented on the talent that our students showed in AFL!
Coles and MasterChef did a big cook up with the students. The students prepared a delicious chicken curry and spicy salad.
Take Me Home
Our 2022 collaboration with Red Dust Role Models.
A huge Storytelling week at Pickertaramoor to cap off a big Term 3 for Tiwi College.
People who call the Tiwi Islands home often find themselves spending time away from family, community and country. This song, written by Jeffrey Simon with our students captures the essence of being way from and missing home but always carrying the sense of belonging and connection to country with you no matter where life takes you.
TOTEM.
Check out our 2021 collaboration with Red Dust Role Models, written and performed by the students at Tiwi College.
