Elders in the Spotlight
Our Elders have shaped Kairos in countless ways. From first graduates forging their own paths to long-time staff and board members who laid the foundation for our unique education model – these are the stories that continue to inspire us.
Throughout my life, I have been to eighteen different schools. I failed most of my subjects. I was bullied, humiliated, and put to shame. I have been suspended plenty of times for different things and moved around to different towns and states.
In 2022 I was seeing a psychologist who told me about Kairos. She said it would be a positive environment with people that cared and would support me to move forward. When I first started at Kairos, I was nervous and afraid. It was scary for me because I felt alone. The first day I started I was afraid to talk to anyone because it was out of my comfort zone, and I had no idea what was next. But as I kept pushing myself to come to school, I became more connected, happy, focused, and started making friendships that I never had before.
Over my time at Kairos, I accomplished many things. In Year 11, I completed a Cert II in Hospitality, and I started a traineeship and Cert III in Sport and Recreation and have finished that. I had outstanding grades, and now I’m working at a pool as a lifeguard and swim teacher. Kairos also helped me get my Learners licence.
At Kairos I have overcome the struggles I have faced by being around positive people who made me feel happy and safe.
