Overview
Introduction
In 1984, The McDonald College was founded by three women with an ambitious idea – to create a school where young people could pursue their passion and receive world-class performance training while receiving a rigorous academic education. It was the first school of its kind in Australia – and we remain unique.
While the history of the College is steeped in Classical Ballet and Dance, and these are art forms that the College is known for – we have expanded our offerings across all streams of Performing Arts and also offer Performance Sports – Elite Tennis and Rhythmic Gymnastics.
Through performance training, students also develop highly transferable skills such as self-discipline, time management, empathy, humility, adaptability, and resilience. Skills they can take into any career they choose.
Registration Information
School Level
The school's visa assessment level determines the risk level for students applying for a visa and is a significant reference.
For example, if a school's visa assessment level is 2, the applicant will face more restrictions and be required to provide more written evidence, such as proof of language proficiency and financial capacity.
