Around inCircles orExpanding Spirals
From the early 1900s, education in the Torres Strait was dominated by protectionism and segregation. In 1964 on Thursday Island the segregated state school system was abolished: "coloured children" could attend the high top from 1964 and thus secondary schooling became available to all as far as year 10.

I know some of the fears, hopes and disillusionment of many Torres Strait Islanders. I want to share some of my insights into your situation. When I left Thursday Island in 1972, it was with sadness and with a d…
