Kyah Sandriks

Kyah Sandriks is one of the main protagonists of Special School attending the Autism Support class at Eastern Beaches Primary School.

Background
Kyah was born in Western Australia, and has lived in various places in Australia (including Lemmon, Brisbane and Sydney) due to his mother being in the army.

He currently lives in the Sydney suburb of Redfern with his mother, grandmother and 4 siblings.

Kyah is Aboriginal, and displays great pride in his background.

Appearance
Kyah has medium-length black hair worn in an 'emo' style, swept to the side. He has olive skin and brown eyes, and has his ears pierced.

Personality
Kyah often comes off as grumpy towards others, until they get to know him and see his good sense of humour.

One of Kyah's most notable traits is his tendency to rile up his peers, which he usually does by making cruel jokes and remarks about others' interests (i.e. telling Caden that the Wiggles are in jail, asking Isaiah what would happen if a clown got run over). However, Kyah is not mean-spirited and it is revealed that he does this because he has trouble interacting with others and finds that it is a surefire way for him to get attention.

He is fiercely protective of and loyal to his friends

Being the eldest in his class, Kyah has a knowledge of age-inappropriate subjects, and will often talk about these things with his classmates. This has led him to become friends with Isaiah, who also has a knowledge of such things.

Jervis
Kyah and Jervis were friends when they attended Lemmon Public School together, however when they reunited at Eastern Beaches Primary School, Jervis had changed and their relationship soon became turbulent and volatile.

Zahid
Kyah has a very unlikely friendship with Zahid, which ironically developed after Kyah's attempts to rile him up fell flat.

Isaiah
Isaiah is one of Kyah's few friends in Sydney
