A New Home, A New Beginning β Celebrating the Opening of Wanggulay
A landmark moment in Djarragun College’s history.
We were honoured to officially open Wanggulay, our purpose-built boys’ boarding precinct, alongside our students, families, Elders, Board members, community partners and distinguished guests.
More than just a boarding house, Wanggulay is a culturally responsive home away from home where young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men are supported to grow as learners, leaders and future role models for their communities.
Thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate this significant milestone. Watch the highlights from this special day.

π§ͺπΏ Hands-on science in action! πΏπ§ͺ
To finish off the term, our Middle School students took part in a practical science lesson exploring natural indicators and pigments.
Students investigated and extracted a range of vibrant colours from flowers, blackberries, and red cabbage, observing how natural materials can reveal surprising and beautiful results in the lab.
A fantastic way to end the term with curiosity, experimentation, and discovery! ππ¬

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.
