We understand that the process of enrolling in school is an important one. As a result, we have created an Enrolment Application Booklet for Year 7 in 2025 (PDF, 17.2MB) which parents and caregivers are able to download from the KSHS website.
This comprehensive booklet includes all of the important documentation you need to supply, including the standard Education Queensland Enrolment Form as well as a number of other consent and agreement forms that must be completed as part of your enrolment. The enrolment checklist at the back of the Enrolment Application Booklet for Year 7 in 2025 will ensure parents and caregivers have completed and signed all consent and agreement forms and have copies of all required supporting documentation to submit at an enrolment interviews on Saturday 1 June. All enrolment applications will be considered as received on Saturday 1 June.

If you reside outside of Kenmore State High School's catchment area and your student is not successful in obtaining a place in a Program of Excellence, the enrolment application will still be considered for a mainstream placement and the enrolment decision will be made by the Principal towards the end of Term 3 or beginning of Term 4.

Before you apply
Please review these documents carefully to ensure you have the required information to support the enrolment application:
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.
