Latest News from Deception Bay

Our tribe took to Kings Beach in Caloundra for our start of term trip. The day was a perfect opportunity for building connection, learning about our young people and having fun as a tribe. Not only did we share a meal together, relax and enjoy the surf, it was an opportunity to have our first Battle of the Grades event. Flip cup, toss games, races, water soakers, teachers vs students, we did it all. Thanks to all of our young people and Kairos staff for making the day possible. More photos from the day on the school app. 🏖☀️🌴 See MoreSee Less

We're not afraid to admit it… at Kairos, we are in love with learning! Happy Valentine's Day to all in our community. 💜Valentine's Day isn't just about romantic love, many other types of love like platonic love and familial love are much more common in our lives. For example, we typically have more friends and family than significant others. They are called 'loved ones' for a reason!Why not send a message of care and love to someone special in your life?

A huge thank you to all the parents, carers and guardians who joined us for our Parent Induction Night last week! Our team was delighted to meet you all and share the excitement of your student starting their Kairos journey.It’s important to us that these events are both enjoyable and helpful, and we acknowledge that while we use some specific Academic/Pathways terminology frequently at school, they might not be familiar to all families. So we put together some easy-to-understand descriptions of these terms to help parents, guardians and students navigate the world of education and career planning, we hope these will be a valuable resource for you!Even better news? This glossary of terms will be saved on the Kairos Konnect App for easy access whenever you need them! This is just another way we're working to keep you informed and connected. We look forward to a fantastic year ahead with you all! See MoreSee Less
