Deputy Principal’s Introduction
Welcome to the 2022 edition of “Be Involved”. This is a collection of the vast
array of opportunities, clubs, competitions, and events that are available for the
students at Kenmore SHS to be involved in each year. Collating this together
has being a joy in itself - a testament to our staff for all the work they do in
providing these opportunities and to our students for their commitment and
involvement in each of the opportunities. Our school values encompass
Belonging, Integrity, Learning, Excellence and Partnerships. Students who are
involved in any or many of these opportunities will be espousing many of these
school values in all elements of their participation. We aim for all students at Kenmore to Flourish and
Belong - we want students to be actively involved across our school. Students get the opportunity to
show Accomplishment, to have Purpose, to be Engaged, to develop Relationships and to gain and
recognise Positive Emotions (all of our PERMAH Pillars) when they are involved in any of these
activities in our great school.
Academic
The academic opportunities all have links for students of staff that they can contact to
apply and compete.
Cultural
We encourage all students to participate in our cultural opportunities. The cultural
opportunities are advertised on notices, and we encourage all students to participate.
Community & Environment
We encourage all students to participate in community and environmental events. You
can engage your passion for social justice, environmental sustainability, harmony, and
peace.
Sport
We encourage all students to participate in any of the sporting opportunities. GALA Days
are held for Seniors and Juniors each term. Sports change each term - look on the
Notices for details.

Deputy Principal of Inclusion and Wellbeing

Be Involved at Kenmore SHS
‘Be Involved’ at Kenmore State High School showcases
the wide variety of extracurricular activities, clubs, groups,
programs, sports, events and competitions available to our
students throughout the year. One of our five core values
at KSHS is ‘Belonging’ and the opportunities outlined in
this booklet aim to engage as many students as possible
in learning experiences beyond the classroom.
Our mission is to foster growth and a sense of belonging in students to allow them to flourish - to
mature into young adults who feel like they belong and who have made a genuine and positive
contribution to their school community. Having a strong sense of belonging means a student feels
accepted, valued and included in their school setting by their peers and others in the school. When
students feel a sense of belonging, they have positive relationships, value learning and engage with
their school environment. Additionally, they also have improved overall wellbeing and mental health.
In addition to the many benefits associated with a student feeling like they ‘belong’, participation in
extra-curricular activities is also linked to positive academic outcomes. It is widely reported that
positives include educational aspirations, improved attendance, positive social behaviours and more
positive development generally.
Kenmore State High School offers a range of clubs, activities, events and campaigns where students
get opportunities to be show positive emotions, be grateful, be kind and to experience a purpose
beyond themselves (meaning). They get to focus on health, be a leader, and be involved with skills to
be active citizens in our school. We encourage all students to try something new, to put themselves
out there, take a risk and be involved. Students can contribute their voice and activism as a member
of the Student Representative Council or show their support and plan events through the Alphabet
Alliance. If students are interested in sports, we have Rowing, Running and Volleyball clubs in
addition to the Gala Days and Interschool Sport on offer. If students are interested in global or
community initiatives students can get involved with the Amnesty International Group, Leos Club or
Debating. There are a range of clubs to promote creativity through the Craft or Art Club or perhaps
students prefer to unleash their creativity through performance-such as our extensive Instrumental
Music Program, Dance Troupes, Theatre Sports or Taiko Drumming. Students may wish to learn a
new skill at Chess Club, First Lego League or the Scale Modelling Group, amongst many more.
Where a club is not currently offered, students are invited to submit proposals for new clubs.
Overall, engagement in these clubs, programs and events promote connectedness and a sense of
belonging. These opportunities would not be possible without the commitment shown by our
passionate staff for whom we are immensely grateful for. We have something for everyone here at
Kenmore State High School and we look forward to seeing how students flourish in 2022.
