ABOUT US....

 
 

Djarragun College is situated 20 km south of Cairns in the sugar cane fields of Gordonvale in Far North Queensland. The school is dominated by the unique land form of Djarragun Mountain (also known as Walsh's Pyramid).


Most of our students are of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islands descent.

 

Djarragun College opened its doors for the first time in the middle of the wet season in January 2001 with only a handful of students. Its grounds, still raw from the building activities, were a sea of mud. Since then the school has grown to an enrolment of around 400 students and the school grounds have become an attractive campus with grassy playing fioelds, shady trees, rock gardens and native shrubs. It is a happy place where children learn and play. Our many visitors often remark upon the quiet learning going on in the classrooms, the happy smiles and friendly greetings welcoming them.
