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 studentβs 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.

This is the latest information for the Cairns region from QLD Health. It is a very real and present danger in the Far North. Please ensure students are sent to school in enclosed shoes and do not play in muddy puddles or flood water.
WET SEASON WARNING: they may be the π©΄ footwear of choice for Far North Queenslanders, but you could be at risk of being infected with a dangerous disease if you wear them in mud. There have been 8 cases of melioidosis notified in the Cairns and Hinterland region within the past week. This is a high number of cases and a concern considering the wet season is not in full swing. Melioidosis is a serious bacterial disease found in ground water and soil, and you may be at risk of infection, particularly if you have an underlying medical condition such as diabetes, kidney or lung problems, or are immunocompromised. Symptoms of melioidosis may include: π€ fever π€§ cough π° difficulty breathing The effects can be very severe and often require hospitalisation for antibiotic treatment. To reduce your risk of melioidosis infection, avoid contact with soil or muddy water, particularly after heavy rains. Wear protective footwear - NOT open footwear such as thongs and sandals - when outdoors, especially in muddy conditions. For more information about melioidosis, head to www.qld.gov.au/health/condition/infections-and-parasites/bacterial-infections/melioidosis ... See MoreSee Less
