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 studentโs 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.
๐กโจ Djarragun College at the Cairns Show! โจ๐ก
Our Secondary students had a fantastic time representing Djarragun College at the Cairns Show, where our stall was buzzing with activity throughout the event.
Visitors enjoyed delicious food and coffee from our student- and staff-operated food truck and coffee van, while our VET students proudly showcased their skills to the community.
๐ Our Certificate II in Primary Health students provided free basic health checks to visitors, gaining valuable real-world experience.
๐๐ฝโโ๏ธ Our Certificate II in Salon Assistant students put their training into practice by offering hair braiding and applying micro-bead hair extensions.
๐จ Our Certificate III in Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Cultural Arts students also showcased prints of their original artworks. These beautiful pieces will be available for purchase at our Tribalmania event at the College this September, celebrating the creativity and talent of our young artists.
It was a wonderful opportunity for our students to build confidence, develop industry skills, and engage with the wider community. We are incredibly proud of everyone who represented the College with such professionalism, enthusiasm and pride.

Lovely
๐ฟ๐ค A wonderful celebration of culture, confidence and connection! ๐ค๐ฟ
At the end of Term 2, our Years 9โ12 Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care students proudly performed a traditional community dance for a visiting group of international students.
It was inspiring to see our students step outside their comfort zones, confidently share their culture, and engage in meaningful conversations with students from around the world. Their willingness to present, connect and learn from one another made this a truly memorable cultural exchange.
We are incredibly proud of the confidence, respect and leadership our students demonstrated throughout the experience.
A special thank you to the CCEB professional photographer for capturing these beautiful moments so brilliantly. ๐ธโจ

๐ WATCH OUT โ CANE TRAINS ABOUT ๐
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:
โ ๏ธ Stay away from locomotives and cane bins
โ ๏ธ Donโt play around railway lines
โ ๏ธ Never walk between cane bins
โ ๏ธ Never go onto a cane railway bridge
โ ๏ธ Never walk behind a train โ drivers may not see you
โ ๏ธ Stop, look both ways and listen before crossing tracks
โ ๏ธ 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.
Letโs work together to keep our children and community safe this cane season.
