Our Future Campus

The permanent two-storey campus will feature modern classrooms, breakout areas, kitchen facilities, staff spaces, and a half-court basketball court. In keeping with our commitment to relationship-based education, our classrooms are intentionally small to preserve the integrity of our model and ensure a low student-to-teacher ratio.


Enrolments and Growth

Kairos Nambour is currently accepting enrolment referrals for Year 10. Due to our intentionally small community, places are extremely limited and not all applicants will be offered a position.

The campus will expand to include Year 11 in 2027 and Year 12 in 2028, reaching a total capacity of approximately 60 students to ensure a personalised learning environment.

To apply for a position at Kairos Nambour, please follow our referral process HERE.

Her son, who had struggled to attend school since Year 8, was now getting up every morning eager to go.“He just hasn't been coming to school since year eight and now he's getting up every day and saying: 'I'm ready. I'm ready to go.' And he's got friends,” Mr Robinson recalled her saying.The college caters for a maximum of 68 students, with classes limited to 17 students, supported by a teacher, teacher aide and youth worker.Mr Robinson, who spent more than 20 years in mainstream education, said working in an alternative schooling environment had been personally rewarding.“It was a revelation to me to wake up at the beginning of term two this year and actually realise I was looking forward to going to work,” he said.The college has been operating from the former ANZ Bank building in Nambour, but will relocate to the former mower centre in Coronation Drive next year while a permanent campus is constructed.Three classrooms are being developed at the site, with the permanent facility expected to be ready in 2028.Mr Robinson said the college expected to have 51 students next year, with a handful of places still available in Years 10 and 11.He also appealed to Nambour businesses to consider offering work experience placements to Kairos students from November 23–26.“If any of our Kairos students cold call you for the opportunity to work in your business, I would love you to consider them,” he said.Nambour Chamber of CommerceKairos Community College NambourPictured: Tim Robinson says the new alternative school in the heart of Nambour, is giving young people who have struggled in mainstream education a fresh start. …
