Striving for Excellence in Performance

The McDonald College is Australia's leading Academic and Performing Arts College. We aim to engender a deep love of performance whilst fostering academic rigour and wider love of learning. We understand that our creative students have a capacity to think laterally and we harness this creativity and further develop these skills as the students strive for academic excellence. The legacy of our students’ successes over the last 30 years stands as a testament to the strength of our philosophy and the happiness and fulfillment our students have achieved.

The McDonald College employs highly qualified and experienced academic and performing arts staff. Our staff encourage students to strive for their personal best in all they undertake.
