This is a book about an incredible school and 50 years of its history – the people who’ve gone through as students and where they are now, the challenges, the victories and the creation of an inclusive public school culture.
The writers have discovered, among the ten thousand students who have passed through the school, wonderful stories of positive contributions to the lives of communities around the world. Many have shared their memories of Kenmore High and its impact on their lives. As well, there are stories of outstanding achievers, leaders in the fields of medical research, business, the diplomatic service, sport and media and the arts.
It’s the story of fascinating origins, the earnest drive of early Kenmore residents for a high school, the energetic and willing parents and students, how the school overcame challenges like floods and covid, the life of the vibrant, committed staff and how they developed an innovative curriculum, how Kenmore led in technologically assisted learning, its excellent arts and media programs and bands. In all, the story of how it grew into a great school.
The book has been put together by a passionate team of writers, comprising Judy Magub OAM local historian and writer, Richard Davey and Don Mansfield, both life members of the KSHS P&C Association, Colin Stewart former KSHS HOD, Roger Fry past KSHS teacher and Jeff Shepherd, past Kenmore High principal.
We are sure you will find it a great read.
