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.



Weekend adventures often take our boarding students to the beach or a creek to relax by the water and spent quality time together.
From building strong friendships to making lifelong memories, these moments are all part of the boarding experience. There's nothing better than a day at the beach with friends!

π WATCH OUT β CANE TRAINS ABOUT π
With the 2026 cane crushing season commencing in June, MSF Sugar is reminding families and our community about the importance of cane rail safety.
Cane trains operate 24 hours a day during the crushing season and carry very heavy loads, meaning they cannot stop quickly. Playing near railway tracks, climbing on moving trains, riding trail bikes along rail lines or fishing from railway bridges can have devastating consequences.
Please talk to your children about staying safe around cane railways and remember:
β οΈ Stay away from locomotives and cane bins
β οΈ Donβt play around railway lines
β οΈ Never walk between cane bins
β οΈ Never go onto a cane railway bridge
β οΈ Never walk behind a train β drivers may not see you
β οΈ Stop, look both ways and listen before crossing tracks
β οΈ Obey flashing lights and Give Way signage at crossings
Tampering with railway points or placing objects on tracks is extremely dangerous and can cause derailments resulting in serious injury or death.
Letβs work together to keep our children and community safe this cane season.

Back on the field! πππ
Our boarding students wasted no time getting back into the action this term, proudly representing their clubs in weekend AFL matches across the Under 13 and Under 15 competitions.
It's fantastic to see our students staying active, building teamwork and continuing to develop their skills while doing what they love. We're proud of your commitment and can't wait to see what the season brings!

Destination: Aloomba Creek πΏπ¦
Weekends in boarding are all about making the most of Far North Queensland's beautiful winter weather! Our boarding students enjoyed a refreshing swim at Aloomba Creek, spending time outdoors, connecting with friends and creating great memories together.
There's nothing quite like a sunny Cairns winter weekend by the water! βοΈπ #djarraguncollege #BoardingLife #weekendadventures #farnorthqueensland #creatingmemories ... See MoreSee Less

π¨πͺ΅πΆ Art, culture and creativity came together in Mr Noel's classroom! πΆπͺ΅π¨
Mr Noel's Year 8 Art class, supported by Aunty Rhonda, loved listening to the rich sounds of the didgeridoo while working on lino carvings of their animal totems.
Adding to the special atmosphere, one of our talented students gave a didgeridoo demonstration, sharing their skills and creating an inspiring cultural experience for the class as they carved.
It was a wonderful lesson that combined artistic expression, cultural learning and student leadership. Well done to everyone involved! πβ¨
