Student body
Kia Ora State School is composed of three multi-age classes and promotes a family atmosphere. Thus the school is able to provide individual attention and learning at the child’s ability level.
The students have a rural background with families living on acreage – some working the land and others working in nearby Gympie and enjoying the rural lifestyle.
The children are from English speaking backgrounds.
Our distinctive curriculum offerings
As well as the mandatory Key Learning Areas of the Queensland Curriculum, staff at Kia Ora State School focus on the social and emotional well-being of students and the preparation in this area of the students for adult life.
Kia Ora State School offers after school physical activities on Thursday afternoon for the children for two hours.
Providers from the wider community including businesses and parents also provide lessons in the various skills they possess.
