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.

Group Intentional Reading – Year 3 & 4 📚  In Years 3 and 4, reading is taught with purpose. Students are learning that strong readers don’t just read words — they think, question and make meaning.  Through focused small-group instruction and explicit teaching of comprehension strategies, students are building fluency, vocabulary and confidence in talking about their thinking.  High-impact literacy learning in action — and we’re proud of their growth every day. 👏
