Kairi State School

Established 1911

Welcome to Kairi State School’s website. We are a caring and sharing school only 10 kilometres from Atherton. Atherton is the hub of the beautiful Atherton Tablelands, a diverse farming area in Far North Queensland, Australia.

Schools

Kairi State School strives to assist students achieve high personal standards and academic excellence in all endeavours. We have established a supportive, safe environment in which the school and community work together to provide the best possible education far all students and allow them every opportunity to succeed.

Kairi State School prides itself on a family oriented, caring environment. This has seen many generations of families return over the years. The school maintains high expectations of students in regards to behaviour and rarely do we have to deal with major issues. Social skilling occurs in every classroom both incidentally and through formal lessons based on Values Education and Protective Behaviours.

Religious Education classes are offered every Tuesday in non-denominational religious groups.

Learning

Students at Kairi are encouraged to pursue all interests including academic, sporting, artistic and dramatic. Students pursue interests through their involvement in the Student Council, which runs the following programs:

School garden-growing and selling of produce to the Parents and Citizens Association or tuckshop
Lunch Time Sporting activities
Technology Club
Social Club

Students in these clubs actively budget and fundraise. They are accountable for all monies through an elected treasurer who works closely with our office staff.

Over the past few years there have been many students representing the school in sports ranging from athletics to tennis, soccer and hockey.

The school choir is a recent addition and consists of many students who individually excel in eisteddfods. This year we hope that they will be successful as a group at the Cairns Eisteddfod.

Another popular activity involving students in Years 6 and 7 is our computer club. This club works on projects using multi media and computers to develop CDs and DVDs.

Schools and Communities Working Together

Kairi School is actively involved with the Atherton Cluster of Schools (ACE), which has prioritised Middle Schooling and public education as major initiatives.
