College Principal jobs

About the Department of Education:
Tagai State College is an identified school participating in the Department of Education (DoE) Partnership Initiative (PI). Schools in communities that have a high degree of complexity and vulnerability receive prioritised support and resourcing and act as champions for the communities they serve as part of PI.

The College Principal leads the college Executive team. Collectively, the Executive lead strategic college-wide portfolio areas, such as campus supervision, teaching and learning, student support services, infrastructure, sport, workforce strategy, governance and business services. The Executive set the strategic direction for the college in consultation with the Torres Strait Islanders' Regional Education Council (TSIREC), communities and the Department of Education, to improve learning for all students.

At each campus, a Head of Campus, equivalent to a Principal, leads the delivery of Kindergarten to Year 6 or Year 7 to 12 education. Heads of Campus report to a campus supervisor and are ultimately accountable to the Executive Principal.

The College is located in the Torres Strait and the Executive is based on Thursday Island. All Tagai State College campuses are discrete Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. Thursday Island is located about 39 kilometres north of Cape York Peninsula.
