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.

Our senior students in Certificate III in Sport Coaching have hit the ground running this term, once again coaching our Upper Primary students.

It’s fantastic to see the growth in both our young coaches and primary students, with real improvements in skills, confidence, and teamwork. A great example of real-life training through Vocational Education Training (VET), building strong relationships, collaboration, and leadership across year levels. Well done everyone πŸ‘πŸ‰

Some of our boys and girls boarding students had the opportunity to join local AFL teams, the Lions, competing in the Under 13 girls, Under 15 boys, and Under 15 girls divisions.

They showed fantastic teamwork, great attitudes, and represented themselves with prideβ€”playing exceptionally well across all games. Even better, all teams came away with a win on the day! Can't wait to watch you grow over the season. Well done to everyone involved πŸ‘πŸ‰

Our boys and girls boarding students took on the Red Arrow walking track, a steep climb on the edge of the Cairns Botanic Gardens. With beautiful views across the city at the top, there were plenty of smiles at the start and an even greater sense of achievement at the finish. A fantastic effort by all! πŸ’ͺ🌿 ...
