School
councils are established in independent public schools and enable greater
involvement of the school community and other stakeholders, in setting the
strategic direction for the school. The Kenmore State School Council is
the custodian of the direction and reputation of Kenmore SS. It is a
forum that plans and reviews the school’s progress towards its vision: Strive
– Create – Achieve.

including the annual estimate of revenue and expenditure for the school

The school council plays a role in monitoring and informing the school's
strategic direction in a way that achieves the best learning outcomes for the
school's students.
