Enrolling into Year 11 or 12
When a student moves from one school to another whilst enrolled in the senior phase of learning, a number of factors must be considered to ensure a smooth transition within the new QCE system. Students applying to enrol from Term 2 Year 11 and beyond when changing from a previous school to Kenmore State High School, are required to submit detailed information with regard to their previous learning credits and academic history at their previous school.
Please complete the New Enrolments to Senior Schooling QCE System application form (PDF, 660KB) and return it to the school administration office with the Application for enrolment form (PDF, 430KB).
Enrolling into Year 12
Students entering Kenmore State High School into Year 12 from another school will need to be assessed with regard to the completion of units in the new QCE system.
As Kenmore State High School commences Unit 3 in Term 4 of Year 11, it is highly advantageous for a new student enrolling into Year 12 to have completed the relevant Unit 3 internal assessment items at their previous school.
Enrolment interview
You will be contacted to arrange an enrolment interview once the Principal has approved the application to enrol.
The interview will be about 15 to 20 minutes duration, is student focused and aimed at sharing information so that the school can better cater for the needs of each individual student.
Re-enrolments or repeating a year level
Students seeking to re-enrol or repeat a year level—complete an
application for repeat or returning students (PDF, 393KB) or update enrolment details.
The school operates an enrolment management plan. To check your eligibility to enrol, please check the Department of Education
