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.
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.

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¨
