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.
Hambledon House Community Centre is holding its annual Open Day as part of their Neighbourhood Centre Week celebrations. The aim of their open day is to introduce community members to the free programs, activities and supports available at the centre.

Loving the sportsmanship and support our students show for each other and their teammates 👏
As part of our Boarding curriculum, students have the opportunity to join local clubs and get involved in the community. This term, many of our boarders have joined the Lions AFL club, where they are supported to attend weekday training sessions and weekend matches.
