How is Applying Different
Kairos assists with students who have become disengaged or are at risk
of disengaging from mainstream schooling. This can be due to a variety of reasons,
however if your young person has the desire to finish Year 12,
follow the simple process below to begin your conversation about enrolling at Kairos.
1. You will need a Referee
A Referee may be a Guidance Officer, School Counsellor, Psychologist, Principal, Deputy Principal, Youth Worker, Medical Specialist, Occupational Therapist etc, who understands the student and their educational needs.

Kairos opens doors to education
There are no compulsory fees or levies, no compulsory school uniforms, and we run school buses to support attendance.
Before Kairos, I couldn’t stay at a single high school for more than a year because of different circumstances, whatever they may be. By the time I was at the end of year 9, I think I had completely given up on the education system. I had a teacher who told me about Kairos. My mum had to force me to apply and not just put my head into the sand, I did have dreams of the future and what I wanted to be, but it felt unattainable.
I started at Kairos in year 10, very hesitant towards everyone. Especially the teachers, who through their amazing patience, have made an imprint onto me as a person. They helped me through every time I wanted to give up because things got hard, supporting me the best they could. I went from basically despising school to enjoying it. These educators taught me how to be able to motivate myself to complete work, to go further in my education, apply myself because I wanted to, and to try and reach my goals.
My graduation was a sad and monumental moment for me, I was leaving my favourite school, but all I feel is thankfulness. I’m thankful to my educators, who shared their stories with me, and helped me learn to grow into a better person.
I’m thankful for the wonderful friends I have made at this school, who stand by me and support me with laughter and jokes, I will really miss seeing you every day. I’m thankful to my Youth Workers, who have helped me work through my own issues, and grow from a stubborn child into a healthy young adult.
