A young performer who wants school to work around serious training will find a particular kind of peer group here. The McDonald College in Sydney combines mainstream schooling from primary years through to the senior secondary certificate with specialist performing arts training. Its approach suits families seeking an education that makes room for dance, music, acting or musical theatre alongside academic work, rather than treating the arts as an after-school extra.
The school’s campus is in North Strathfield, in Sydney’s inner west, with rail links towards the city and Parramatta. Days can be demanding: performing arts training calls for discipline, regular practice and the confidence to perform in front of others. It will suit internationally minded school-age learners who are already committed to developing an artistic skill and can manage a structured timetable. Those looking for a conventional academic school with only occasional arts activities may find its specialist focus less suitable.
