Kenmore State High School provides many volunteering opportunities for parents, caregivers and community members to support our students and our school. Opportunities include volunteering at the Tuckshop, fundraising BBQs and school events such as the World's Greatest Shave.
Please carefully read the information below and follow the application process if you intend on volunteering your time and services to Kenmore State High School, where you will not physically be with your student at all times while present at the school.
COVID-19 requirements
Upon entry to the school, all volunteers must check in using the Check-in Qld app and must show proof of vaccination. All contractors and volunteers to the school need to have at least one vaccination dose by 17 December 2021 and be fully vaccinated by 23 January 2022. Copies of vaccination certificates do not need to be kept by the school. However, we will need to keep a record that the vaccination evidence has been sighted as part of visitor management systems.
How do I access my COVID-19 vaccination evidence?
Fully vaccinated means having received two doses of an approved COVID-19 vaccine. The COVID-19 Digital Certificate or immunisation history statement can be viewed and/or printed through:
- Check In QLD app
- Medicare Online via MyGov
- Express Plus Medicare mobile app
