After months of collective hard work shared between Tagai State College, TSIREC and MCF, the Summit was opened in fine style by Ned David, Chair of the Torres Strait Islanders Regional Education Council, Stephanie Savage, Associate Principal of Tagai State College and Montessori’s staunchest champions in the Torres Strait Nation.
Attending the Summit was a diverse audience made up of representatives from all the Torres Strait communities, as well as many from the Australian Montessori community who have built much valued relationships with the Torres Strait over the years.
The opportunities Montessori education affords Torres Strait children in developing confidence, independence and an enduring love of learning was inspirational to many.
