The College provides comprehensive education from years 7 to 12 and includes a Vocational Education and Training (VET) section. Taminmin also is the only school in the Northern Territory with an agricultural facility. Taminmin College provides success for all students with a range of pathways to access employment and higher education.

The school mission is “Inspiring Learning, Empowering Futures, Education for Life “ which aligns with the core purpose; to nurture, inspire, and prepare young people to REACH for possibilities and seize opportunities that enable them to positively contribute to their community, society, and the world.

The school values are encompassed in the acronym REACH. R – respect, E – effort towards excellence, A – achieve your goals, C – caring community and H – honesty.

Students of high academic potential can experience enrichment, extension and challenge across core learning areas in the High Achiever Leading Learner program. Support is provided for students to work towards age-appropriate standards in their learning.
