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.

Our boarding students are supported to get involved in local sports clubs — with fees and transport organised through the school so they can focus on giving it their best 💪🏉

Here they are, all suited up and ready for the new season after joining the Lions AFL Club — and already straight into the action! We’re incredibly proud of this group for their commitment, teamwork and willingness to step up, try something new and represent with pride. Go well, legends! 🦁👏✨

Sorry to some of our Yarrabah families today. The Djarragun College bus reached capacity.

Starting tomorrow, Wednesday 11 February, we have added a second bus to this run. Mr Fred, one of our CARE Educators, will be driving one of the buses and Ken from Kinnect will continue to drive the other.

The pick up times will stay the same, but it may be a different bus.

We are pleased to see so many of the students at school and attending classes learning.
