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¨πͺ΅πΆ Art, culture and creativity came together in Mr Noel's classroom! πΆπͺ΅π¨
Mr Noel's Year 8 Art class, supported by Aunty Rhonda, loved listening to the rich sounds of the didgeridoo while working on lino carvings of their animal totems.
Adding to the special atmosphere, one of our talented students gave a didgeridoo demonstration, sharing their skills and creating an inspiring cultural experience for the class as they carved.
It was a wonderful lesson that combined artistic expression, cultural learning and student leadership. Well done to everyone involved! πβ¨

π₯πΏ Sharing culture, cooking and connection in Boarding! πΏπ₯
Some of our young fellas in Boys' Boarding enjoyed the opportunity to give Uncle Mike a few tips, giving him a hand to prepare the ground to cook up some kangaroo tails.
Meanwhile, our Girls' Boarding students were busy in the kitchen preparing enough supper for everyone to enjoy β delicious banana damper and coconut corn. ππ½
These moments are what make boarding life special β sharing stories, building skills, learning from one another, and celebrating culture through food.
A wonderful evening of teamwork, tradition and community! π

It was the perfect way to relax, reconnect with friends, and enjoy the outdoors after returning to school for another busy term.
