The History of Djarragun College
The History of Djarragun College
Construction at the new site for Djarragun College, at the corner of Maher Road and the Bruce Highway, started in 2000. On 5 February 2001, school officially started when students arrived for their first school day, in unrelenting rain, the school grounds a sea of mud. Much has changed since then, as can be seen here, with trees, grass and shrubs in front of the Primary Classroom block; the kitchen for Hospitality Studies and behind it, our Assembly area are in the background.
Construction is continuing unabated. A second Boarding house and a Computer- and Art Room complex were officially opened by the then Federal Minister of Education, Brendon Nelson, a spacious Dining Hall and modern kitchen was completed in 2006 and a new Library complex in 2007.
A Sports Oval is laid out and for 2008 a brand new Primary School campus is being planned.
