Appearance Matters More Than Learning
Kenmore State High has the potential to be a strong school, but unfortunately its priorities seem misplaced. The uniform policy is rigid to the point of being draconian. Instead of focusing on learning outcomes or student wellbeing, there is a heavy emphasis on policing attire. Teenagers who are at a formative stage of social and personal development are treated harshly for minor uniform deviations, while more important educational and welfare issues take a back seat. Leadership also appears m...

Consider other alternatives!!!
I’m writing this review as my google one amongst the others got taken down. I was a student in the mid 2000’s who moved from Melbourne given the nature of my Dad’s work. When my family amd I knew we were going to be posted to Brisbane, My Paremts looked up various high schools to complete the rest of my HSC education as I had only 2 years left of it. We had heard good things about Kenmore in regards to Academic standards, Inclusion and equality to name a few things. As soon as we got there,...

Tacit approval of ephebophilic behaviour
Given Evan Winner's history of inappropriate contact with recently graduated children from this school, and that he is still employed by the school, I'd highly recommend seeking schooling for your children elsewhere based on MULTIPLE experiences from my peers. It's also important to note that this was discussed by a staff room, head of department, and deputy principal and NONE of these staff members reported the conduct.

Unacceptable teacher conduct
In 2011-2012 a teacher from this school attempted to send pictures of his willy to multiple recently graduated students, at least one still being a child. This was known within school and EQ staff for a decade before it was reported to the appropriate authorities. He still works there. Really looking forward to the fallout if my children end up attending this school while he is still employed

horrible
horrible. the HOYs and Year Cos as well as the principal and vice principals only care about your uniform, they don’t care about you. there are some really great teachers, but most just don’t care about you, your well-being, or your happiness at all. they also don’t stop people from putting the kids in danger, as many students have brought weapons to school. the school is a wannabe private school and force kids to wear uncomfortable formal uniforms and extremely thin jumpers, even on the coldest...
