The college caters for holistic learning; helping the young Tiwi become "work ready".

The school currently has over 100 students and 50 staff consisting of Teachers, Tiwi Assistant Teachers, Tiwi Academy staff, Family Group Home (boarding) Parents, Hospitality staff, a Fleet Manager, Farm Manager, Maintenance Manager and Groundsman.
