The key areas of the Strategic Vision are Academic, Christian, Caring, Stewardship and Service.

This small group of students has supported each other in achieving outstanding results including the highest ATAR result at TIGS of 99.2 which was achieved by Tamika Mansell. Tamika joined TIGS in Year 11 and has certainly taken every opportunity available to her to be an influential and positive contributor to our School including being appointed to School Captain. Getting over 99 is a real dream come true and I honestly couldn’t have done it without everyone at TIGS! Thank you so much for the opportunity to come to this school. It has been the best two years of my school life. Tamika Mansell
