Series 7:
Diploma of Teaching course, Townsville College of Advanced Education (James Cook University), 1981-1984
In 1982, Townsville College of Advanced Education amalgamated with the James Cook University of North Queensland. Mabo eventually decided not to become a teacher because he felt he was unsuited to classroom situations. Many of the essays in Folders 2-9 have a Torres Strait Islander focus and include grades and tutors' comments. Papers relating to other educational activities pursued by Mabo can be found in Series 2, Folder 2, and Series 12, Folders 3-5.
