Our school

​​​Since the establishment of the Kin Kin Township in the early 1900’s, the local community has continually focused on working together to provide its young members with a quality education to empower future citizens. In December 1912, the community officially opened the doors of a township school in the School of Arts. On October 18, 1916 the community walked their children to begin their schooling years on the then new Kin Kin State School site. Throughout the years the united focus on what quality education looks, feels and sounds like has remained the same. In fact this vision is now appropriately represented in the school’s logo. The school, and its community, is one with the environment.

At Kin Kin State School we provide students with a progressive educational foundation, supporting every individual child to learn,grow and thrive. The values of 'Understanding, Co-operation and Initiative' underpin the culture of our school. We encourage students to strive to be the best that they can be using these core values. 

 We believe all students can learn and belong to a safe, caring and kind learning environment. We enact our beliefs and achieve our vision by treating others the way we want to be treated (understanding); becoming imaginative and thoughtful  (initiative), and doing what is best for self, place and others (co-operation).  

‘Kin Kin has inclusive programs and partners with organisations, providing our students with community connections and real-life learning experieneces.

Syudent learning is enriched by our participation in community partnerships. we join with; Noosa Shire Council, Noosa Bioshpere, Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden, Landcare Noosa, Kin Kin Community Group Inc, Slow Foods, Kin Kin Markets, Sunshine Coast Council and Kids in Action.
