Mapoon Campus Overview

Mapoon is located 80km north of Weipa on the shores of Port Musgrave and has a population of approximately 300 people, on the traditional lands of the Tjungundgi people. The Western Cape College Mapoon Campus provides education from Prep to Year 6 and facilities include three classroom blocks, a tuckshop, library and administration office, under-cover area, large AFL field and small oval.

The Campus provides a safe and supportive student environment and a culture of high expectations has been established by working with the community to create a shared vision about education. This in-turn inspires students to reach their full potential.

One of the programs adopted from the Mapoon Campus is the Dare to be Deadly transition program that helps Year 5 and 6 students become better prepared to leave the community and complete Secondary schooling. The program has achieved excellent results in the number of students from Mapoon completing Secondary education.
