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.

Today, on National Sorry Day, our students marked the occasion by welcoming local Elders and members of the Gunggandji-Mandingalbay Yidinji Land and Sea Rangers for a morning tea and a yarn.
The event was beautifully hosted by our wonderful Certificate II in Hospitality students, who prepared an amazing spread of food for everyone to enjoy. 👏🍰☕
Three of our lovely Primary students were also selected to join the group and had the special honour of cutting the cake, which will now be shared amongst our Primary students.
A meaningful opportunity for connection, reflection and community. ❤️🖤💛 ... See MoreSee Less

🏃♂️🏃♀️ Team work in action!
The rule was simple — the last one back had to run it again… and so did the first! Our Primary students figured out very quickly that working together and encouraging each other was the best way to finish as a team. 💪😁👏 ... See MoreSee Less
