Welcome to Djarragun College
Djarragun College shares the Cape York Partnership vision for children to achieve their full potential, talent and creativity and have the confidence and capacity for hard work so they can orbit between two worlds and enjoy the best of both.
We aim to develop a holistic knowledge about each of our student’s academic ability and physical health and wellbeing to be able to fully support each of them onto a successful future life pathway.
We recognise the traditional owners of Cape York and the Torres Strait Islands and pay our respects to our elders, past and present.
Our Mission
To develop proud, strong, educated Indigenous men and women, who walk confidently in two worlds, to be leaders, and to be role models for their families and communities.
Our Vision
To be the school of choice for students, parents and communities in Cape York and the Torres Strait Islands.

📚💛 Primary Caregivers – Free Books! 💛📚
We’re retiring some of our unused Primary readers, and they’re now free for students to take home each day until stock runs out! 🙌
Our goal is simple — to fill every home with hundreds of books and inspire a love of reading. 🌟
Encourage your child to bring some home and start building their own mini library today! 📖🏠✨ ... See MoreSee Less

💛 Pastoral Care in Girls’ Boarding 💛
“Sitting with my pastoral care group — today we focused on building and strengthening friendships with one another and getting to know each other.” — Ms Shania 🌿✨
Every afternoon, both our Boys’ and Girls’ Boarding students come together in small pastoral care groups with boarding staff. These sessions give students the chance to:
🌸 Connect with supportive adults
💬 Talk about their day and share any worries
🤝 Build friendships and problem-solve together
🌺 Take part in strength-based and cultural connection activities
It’s a beautiful opportunity for every student to feel seen, heard, and supported. 💫

☀️💦 Last weekend, our Boys’ and Girls’ Boarding students had a blast cooling off in the Cairns heat with a trip to Josephine Falls! 🏞️
The fun didn’t stop there — the afternoon was spent relaxing and fishing down at the creek. 🎣🌴
What a perfect way to spend the weekend! 🙌

👶✨ Busy Term 3 in Early Childhood!
Ms Juliet’s Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care students have been hands-on all term — swaddling, changing nappies, preparing milk bottles, and so much more! 💪🍼
Great work developing the skills and confidence needed for a career in childcare. 🌟
