Way Beyond Today Expo - Tuesday 25 July 12 noon to 5 pm – KGSC College Hall

The Way Beyond Today event forms part of Kelvin Grove State College's response to the many substantial ongoing changes that are occurring in future pathways. The event is an important part of the process for students in choosing subjects and pathways for their senior schooling and beyond. More importantly, it is about empowering students to chart a course for their future that takes into account the shifting perspectives of the world of work. Parents/carers are also invited to attend the Expo with their students after 3 pm.

For 2023, the Way Beyond Today Expo is part of the Subject Selection event. This Expo is an opportunity for students to speak individually to and network with representatives from peak industry bodies, industry professionals, VET and university providers and similar. It is also an opportunity to provide students with information about subjects they can select in Years 10-12, and other pathways and options.

The eLearning faculty display at this Expo aims to raise awareness of and showcase digital transformation, innovation and entrepreneurship across industries and in daily life, with interactive and/or tech-based activities for students.
