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

π§Έπ Learning from the professionals! ππ§Έ
Our Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care students recently visited Childs World Early Learning Centre as part of their practical learning this term.
The excursion provided students with valuable insights into the early childhood sector, allowing them to observe quality learning environments, engage with experienced educators, and connect their classroom learning with real-world practice.
A big thank you to the team at Childs World Early Learning Centre for welcoming our students and supporting the next generation of early childhood professionals. π

πΆ Another great day on the water! πΏ
Our Year 11 and 12 Certificate II in Outdoor Recreation students continued building their paddling skills during a canoeing session at Lake Eacham with Northern Outlook.
These hands-on experiences challenge students to work together, develop confidence and resilience, and make the most of the incredible natural environments we have on our doorstep.
Well done to everyone involved! π

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.
π₯ Watch the highlights from this special day.
