Father’s Day Stall

The Kenmore State School P&C Association is excited to host our annual Father’s Day Stall

on Wednesday, 3^rd September! 

This special event gives students a wonderful opportunity to purchase a thoughtful gift for Dad, Pop, or another important person they’d like to celebrate. 

Gift Prices:
We’ll have a lovely selection of gifts available for $4 and $8. 

How It Works:
Students will visit the stall in class groups during the day. We kindly ask that they bring correct money where possible. 

Missed Out or Want More?
If students miss the stall or would like to buy an extra gift, items will be available from the Uniform Shop during first break on Thursday, 4^th September, until sold out. 

Father’s Day Tickets – Buy Early!
To help reduce cash handling on the day, Father’s Day Stall tickets can now be purchased via the Qkr App.

Cash and EFTPOS will also be accepted.

Tickets will be given to students as they approach the Father’s Day stall with their class group.

Thank you for your ongoing support and helping us make these events so special for our school community! 

Kenmore State School Uniform History (1900–2025)

This document provides an overview of the evolution of Kenmore State School's uniforms over the past 125 years. It includes historical context and descriptions of uniform styles from different eras.

Early 20th Century (1900)

Children wore practical, home‑sourced clothing such as collared shirts/blouses, simple skirts or shorts, and long socks. This reflects the rural, provisional school era when no formal uniforms existed.

Mid‑20th Century (1957)

Group photos from this period show a mix of everyday attire and early signs of uniformity—darker dresses and shirts—though still largely self‑provided rather than standardized.

Late ‑20th Century (1980)

Group photos from this period show a mix of everyday attire and early signs of uniformity—darker dresses and shirts—though still largely self‑provided rather than standardized.

Introduces the current uniforms Maroon & Light blue polo, tartan sun-safe dresses, and maroon shorts. New uniform introduced based on the below Uniform Survey Summary. 

Kenmore SS 2009 Uniform Survey – Summary & Recommendations

The 2009 uniform survey revealed that the current girls' dress is unpopular, especially among older students, with a general preference for its removal and potential replacement with options like a check blouse and culottes. There is strong demand for bucket hats across all year levels and for minor updates to the polo shirt, such as adding a school crest and woven collar text, though cotton polos were rejected due to poor durability. A hoodie was the most requested winter item but is not suitable under EQ guidelines. Additional suggestions included plain white socks, a V-neck jumper, and changes to uniform shop hours. The next step is for the P&C to decide which items to update or remove, gather uniform samples for comparison, and consult with the school community before making final decisions, noting that changes are unlikely to be implemented before 2011 due to supplier timelines.
