The Kentian Society Museum is an independent community museum owned and managed by the Kentian Society (Inc). 

The Museum operates without any recurrent government funding and relies on the support of its members, volunteers, and donors to carry out its work of collecting, preserving, interpreting and sharing the history of Kent Street Senior High School.

Our work is never ending and our aspirations are high. Becoming a member and/or donating to our organisation will support our vision and mission, bring our local stories to life and make them accessible for all. 

 Our Museum Collections Policy (click on its title to see the document) anticipates a much bigger operation than previously, aiming to gather more materials for larger exhibitions, education, archiving, and research. 

People can also expect that a new Museum Advisory Committee (to provide advice, support and guidance) will be set up soon, and we would like to hear from members and anyone else in the community interested in supporting this new project.

We’re also seeking volunteers to work in a range of roles associated with the:

  • Museum collection (people with interest in or experience as curatorial staff responsible for the care, interpretation, and display of collections, as well as the development of exhibitions and educational programs);
  • Library and Research collection (people with library, archival and history research interests or experience); and
  • Education collection (people with teaching and practical skills).
