Community - Kenmore Park Kindy

An integral part of the local community

Kenmore Park has enjoyed wide community support since its beginnings, back in 1968. It was a time of great change for the area, with Kenmore South State School opening in 1967 due to the ever-increasing population. The local Kenmore State High School was not far behind, opening its doors in 1972.

Approaching our 55th birthday, it gives us great pleasure to now be educating the children and grandchildren of the Kenmore Park community.

Kindy Dad James, attended Kenmore Park as a pre-schooler. Now running a successful business of his own, James returned to with his son Jack, ensuring that Jack received the same Kenmore Park start in life.

"It's was great to see Jack enjoying Kindy, especially as I have many fond memories of my time at Kenmore Park. He's was excited to go to Kindy and made lots of friends."

Being a Kenmore Park parent offers many opportunities to be involved and take a more active part in the Kindy community. James kindly brought his skills to the committee table, and was our Maintenance Coordinator while Jack attended Kenmore Park Kindy.
