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±π Recently this term, our boysβ boarding students took part in some valuable community service at the local Gordonvale Community Garden.
The students all got stuck in β weeding, watering plants and helping tidy the space. Their hard work made a huge difference, and the garden looked fantastic by the time they finished!
A wonderful example of giving back to the community, teamwork and taking pride in helping others. πΏπ ... See MoreSee Less
