Six Moments in Kingston
Curated by David Cross and Cameron Bishop
Six Moments in Kingston is a multidisciplinary public art project unfolding across the City of Kingston, led by six contemporary artists with over 200 local participants. Six extraordinary local stories drawn from the period 1976-1981 form the genesis of six installations, each set in the site of the original story. The project is experienced via a public art bus tour, with on-board broadcasts and the occasional stop to interact with the artworks. Artists are drawing from multiple arts disciplines including performance, video, animation, sculpture, music, textile art and craftivism.
Stories:
- The mysterious disappearance of pilot Fred Valentich and his plane following sightings of a UFO
- The story of Julie Cooper, Moorabbin’s first female mayor
- A celebration of local Parkdale rocker Rick Springfield’s worldwide number one hit, Jessie’s Girl
- Two local protests that mirrored national and international protest movements
- The infamous headbutting incident between troubled VFL footballer Phil Carman and umpire Graeme Carbery
- And the contentious demolition of historic manor, The Grange
Artists: Field Theory, Laresa Kosloff, Shane McGrath, Spiros Panigirakis, Steve Rhall, Tal Fitzpatrick

Mentone Girls Secondary College
Mentone Girls Secondary College Enhancement Program
The Enhancement Program at MGSC has been designed to challenge and inspire girls to think creatively, challenge themselves academically and become globally-minded life-long learners. The program started at Year 7 in 2019 and will expand to Year 8 in 2020, then move into Year 9 in 2021. At the end of Year 9, students will have access to multiple Unit 1/2 subjects where they can use the skills that they have developed to successfully begin an advanced placement in VCE.
We are looking to enrol girls who seek a greater academic challenge and who have an interest in inquiry learning and rich tasks. We are looking for girls who enjoy learning and are always seeking out extension work.
The course offers an alternative curriculum for English, Maths, Humanities and Science that allows the students to learn a greater breadth and depth of skills. Students can pursue their interests more fully through self-directed learning and rich tasks that allow them to choose aspects of their assessment. The curriculum was designed by teachers with experience in SEAL, gifted and talented education and in the International Baccalaureate.
Co-curricular programs like the Melbourne Writers’ Festival, the History Challenge, the Tournament of Minds and others form a central part of the learning experience. Mentone Girls’ Secondary College has a proud tradition of excellent leadership and public speaking, and we aim to further that tradition through the Enhancement Program.
