TAUONDI COLLEGE

Tauondi College is an independent organisation, controlled and managed by Aboriginal people since 1973.

The College provides education for the whole person, affirming Aboriginal cultures and identities in ways that respect Aboriginal law and custom and the diversity of students’ experiences and ambitions.

We have laid a foundation to achieve a better balance between what we call 'cultural teaching' and what is known as 'education for Aboriginal people'. Both these forms of 'education' exist at Tauondi today, together they are known as 'holistic education'.

We seek to strengthen and advance our pathways to 'cultural teaching' because this is our identity, our strength, our way of life and our heritage. And we do this in recognition and respect for those who have gone before and those who are yet to come.
