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.
The College is committed to ensuring our students' education journey is a shared experience. We welcome our day student and boarding communities to join the 'Connecting College & Community' meetings; these are ongoing monthly face-to-face Zoom meetings (online). The aim is for our day students' parents, boarding parents, families and communities to be able to have a chat with the College about their child/children. Our Head of Campus, Community Liaison Officer, Deputy Head of Campus (Teaching and Learning) and Deputy Head of Campus (Student Services) will join the conversation.
Our next meeting will be:
Boarding Communities:
Wednesday 29 November
3.45 pm - 4.45 pm
Day School Communities:
Thursday 30 November
3.45 pm - 4.45 pm
For our boarding families, the College kindly thanks the following schools, who have provided a space for these online meetings: Aurukun, Ti-Tree, Willowra and Minyerri (on Wednesday).
We would like to warmly welcome our day school families to attend the College in person (on Thursday).
Both of these meetings will be available to join online. If you have an internet connection at home and want us to send you the meeting link to join us online, please get in touch with the College at T: 07 4043 3777 or admin@djarragun.qld.edu.au. ... See MoreSee Less
