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.

See how one First Nations family is navigating the social media minimum age.  In December 2025, Australia became the first country in the world to introduce a minimum age for social media which means you have to be 16 or older to have a social media account. For families across the country, that change raised a lot of questions.  To help answer them, we followed Jarin Ingram-Baigent, a Wiradjuri woman, mother, entrepreneur and advocate, and her family as they navigate the new social media landscape together. Their story reflects what so many First Nations families are experiencing right now.  WATCH IT NOW: https://vimeo.com/1162397896?fl=pl&fe=sh  This documentary is here to help carers and communities feel informed and less alone as families adjust, offering a real-world look at:  * what the social media minimum age means for young people and their families
* how one First Nations family is approaching the changes with honesty and connection
* practical ways to keep kids engaged, supported and connected through culture, community and routine
* what to do when the conversation gets hard  You can now find this documentary via eSafety.gov.au
