Djarragun College Athletics and Sports

Australians are very keen on Sports and Athletics and the Indigenous people are no exception. Sports plays a significant part in the students' lives at Djarragun College. The College delivers Health and Physical Education programs for all grades, from Preschool through to Year 12. Students learn all about the benefits of leading an active and healthy lifestyle whilst developing teamwork, leadership, discipline, self-confidence, respect and specific motor skills within a variety of sports and activities.

Each year an Athletics carnival is held where students of all grades compete in a wide variety of activities. All students are allocated a Sports House/Team to be a part of and collect points for their House. From these carnivals students are selected to represent Djarragun College at TCS (Trinity Coast South) events where they compete against other students from their region. Senior School students in the first semester are involved in the CISSA (Cairns Interschool Sports Association) competitions, playing AFL (Australian Football League), Football (Soccer), Touch Football, Volleyball and Basketball. Middle School students too play these sports, plus Rugby League as well.

Primary students too play a variety of sports including Fun games, Game skills, Team building, Gym/movement, Swimming, Football (Soccer), Touch, Basketball, Handball, Cricket, Athletics and Cross-Country running. Friendly games between Djarragun College and nearby schools like Gordonvale Primary and Yarrabah School are very popular.
