Tsak Rural LLG is a local-level government (LLG) of Enga Province, Papua New Guinea. The Tsak Valley has population of over 20,000 people, with most of them depending on subsistence farming. Tsak Valley has four big tribes: The Waimin tribe, the Paukak tribe, the Yambaran tribe and the Sikin tribe which are further divided into sub tribes. There are other smaller tribes too.
Tsak is a place of cultural significance. Enga’s Te’e (Trade) originated in Tsak Valley. The Adventist Mission first arrived in the village of Alumanda in Tsak before it spread out to the rest of Enga. Tsak in Enga language means “to live or alive.”

The other nearest high schools are Wapenamanda Foursquare Secondary School and St Paul’s Lutheran Secondary School in the Wapenamanda area.
