Tiwi College Highlights

RED DUST ROLE MODELS

On Thursday 10 February our school was visited by the
team from Red Dust.

Students met and played Friday sports with Kyle Vander Kuyp. Kyle is an indigenous Australian athlete of the Wurundjeri tribe. He holds the Australian record for 110m Hurdles (13.29 sec) and the Australian record for 60m Hurdles indoors (7.73 sec), and has been National Champion 12 times.

He also spoke to the students at assembly about staying healthy and the importance of finishing school.


COMMUNITY DINNER

Sharing our meal time with all staff and students every Thursday under the covered area near the tramps is great.

We all get together for some good food and lots of fun and even dancing! All House Group Parents and staff bring some food and drinks to share. It's a good way for all of us to get to know other people.
