Making it easier for potential visitors, volunteers or donors to get a taste for what the museum is about is critical for them to take the next step and either visit, join, or donate.

Kent Street Senior High School boasts unique characteristics: a long history in public education of achieving results above expectations, notable architecture, a wide intake area since its inception covering the south eastern suburbs of Perth and beyond, and a robust community museum and scholarship foundation operated by its alumni.

Its past students and staff include a former state governor and governor-general (the Hon. Michael Jeffrey AC), supreme court justice (Christine Wheeler AO), three of the first entrants to the UWA Medical School in 1957 (Drs Michael Cohen, John Milne, and Trevor Redgrave), business leaders (like Trevor Rowe AO and Phil May) and countless sports people and Olympians (such as Zoe Arancini, Rod Marsh, Elsma Harris Merillo, Shirley Strickland de la Hunty, and Len and Eva Kampe Vlahov and their son Andrew).

The Kentian Society (Inc) helps promote and support the school by co-sponsoring with the Kentian Scholarship Foundation (Inc) an annual student scholarship, encouraging the involvement of alumni as volunteers or mentors for students, or through facilitating their reunions.
