Of Attitude and Latitude

In 2000 two institutions of Perth’s western suburbs closed their doors forever; Hollywood and Swanbourne Senior High Schools were to be demolished to make way for housing. A new school, Shenton College, was established in Shenton Park. As a part of the WA State Government’s Percent for Art Scheme Robert Frith was commissioned to photograph Hollywood and Swanbourne during their last three weeks of operation. These portraits of students and staff were exhibited at the Perth Centre for Photography early in 2001
