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.

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 pride—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 👏🏉

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! 💪🌿 ... See MoreSee Less

Girls and boys boarding students made the most of their evening activities with a relaxing walk along the Esplanade at Fig Tree Wharf, followed by some night fishing using hand reels. A great way to unwind, connect, and enjoy the outdoors together 🌅🎣 ... See MoreSee Less

Our Certificate II in Salon Assistant students have been developing their braiding techniques 💇🏽‍♀️

It’s been great to see their confidence grow as they follow techniques more accurately and achieve improved results throughout the term. Students are building consistency, independence, and pride in their work as their skills continue to strengthen.

Mr Rob’s Year 9 Maths class have been exploring the Cartesian plane—cracking codes and plotting points.

A great mix of problem-solving and precision as students build their confidence with coordinates!
