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.
Great to see our Certificate II in Engineering students getting straight into work for 2026! ⚙️🔩
Their skill development is already going through the roof as they spend time in the workshop building practical, hands-on experience. From mastering tools to applying technical knowledge in real projects, these students are laying strong foundations for future pathways in engineering and beyond.
Real learning. Real skills. Real growth.

Our Construction workshop has been organised and cleaned — ready for a big year ahead! 👷♂️🔨 Well done to all students involved in getting the space set up and work-ready.
Our Certificate II in Construction students have also begun demolishing the old pavilion on the sports field, putting their skills into action on a real project.
Hands-on learning like this builds practical skills for life, strong teamwork and real-world experience that prepares our students for future pathways in the construction industry.

📚 Now Hiring: Classroom Support Practitioners
Purpose-Driven Work | Family-Friendly Hours | Real Impact
At Djarragun College, we are looking for the right people — not just to fill a role — but to stand beside our young people and help them grow.
If you are passionate about literacy, numeracy and helping students experience success in the classroom, this could be the role for you.
This position offers family-friendly hours, competitive pay with salary packaging (we are a registered PBI), and the opportunity to work within our established CARE Framework — a model grounded in high expectations, strong relationships and structured support.
At Djarragun, classroom support is not passive. It is intentional. It is purposeful. It is relational.
Our Classroom Support Practitioners work alongside teachers to create calm, structured, culturally safe learning environments where students can focus and achieve. You will support students with learning tasks, help scaffold literacy and numeracy skills, reinforce routines, and build the confidence that many of our young people need to succeed academically.
Some roles may include travelling on the school bus to and from school, helping maintain connection, structure and consistency across the day. We want adults who are present, engaged and genuinely connected with our students — people who are passionate about being in the classroom, helping young people read more fluently, write more clearly, and develop strong number sense.
You will:
• Build strong, trusting relationships with students
• Support individual learning and developmental needs
• Help maintain structured, orderly classrooms
• Champion cultural identity and family inclusion
• Assist with excursions and off-campus activities when required
You are more than a staff member in this role — you are a mentor, role model and steady adult presence.
If you hold a Blue Card, have experience in education or youth work, and bring energy, patience and heart to your work, we encourage you to apply.
Submit your application via SEEK addressed to HR, including your CV (with two referees) and a cover letter outlining how your experience aligns with the role.
Join us in shaping futures and creating opportunities for young Indigenous men and women.
This is work that matters.

Last week we celebrated Shrove Tuesday — and what better way than with pancakes! 🥞✨
Our Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care students enjoyed getting hands-on in the kitchen, making (and taste-testing!) their creations.
At our College, we embrace a variety of diverse and meaningful activities that build both cultural awareness and practical skills. Experiences like this are not only fun, but will definitely come in handy in early childhood settings in the future.
After all… who doesn’t love pancakes? 😄

Our Boys’ and Girls’ Boarding students enjoyed cooling off in the summer heat at Sugarworld Waterpark over the weekend! ☀️💦
With water slides, swimming and plenty of laughter, it was the perfect way to spend a warm North Queensland day.
Structured Boarding excursions like this do more than just create fun memories — they build strong relationships between staff and students and strengthen connections across our Boarding community.
These special activities are also an opportunity for students to demonstrate responsibility and pride. Attendance is earned by meeting the College’s expectations for behaviour and school attendance, empowering our young people to take ownership of their choices and success.
