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.

📣 Thinking about Djarragun College for your child? Come and have a yarn.
We know choosing the right school is a big decision — and sometimes the best way to get a feel for a place is just to talk it through with someone who knows the community.
Every Tuesday evening, Mr Stephen “Cuzzy” Cousins, Djarragun College Youth Support Officer, is available at Yarrabah PCYC from 6pm–9pm to chat with families, parents, carers and young people about Djarragun College.
Whether you’re:
• Exploring enrolment options
• Wanting to understand what Djarragun offers students and families
• Looking for guidance, support, or just a friendly yarn
You’re welcome to drop in — no appointments, no pressure.
Djarragun College is built on strong relationships, culture, care and high expectations for our young people. Come along, ask questions, and see if Djarragun feels like the right fit for your family.
Everyone is welcome — drop in anytime ... See MoreSee Less
