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.
