We’ve got a busy week this week. It’s our first Expo of the season in Dubbo tomorrow and Saturday and it’s promising to be a big one. 36 boarding schools attending from regional and metro NSW, as well as the ACT. If you haven’t pre-registered to attend, it’s not too late – and you can, of course just turn up. Our events are FREE to attend and everyone is welcome.
The McDonald College in Sydney is hoping to attend our Expos next year, in the meantime they’ve joined us this week for a ‘Takeover Thursday’ and we’re just a bit thrilled. They offer such a unique experience for our rural and remote kids that have a dream to pursue the performing and creative arts – dance, theatre, music. They offer an exceptional experience in these endeavours and their boarding program means that more country kids have access to achieving their dreams.
The McDonald College also pursues an Elite program in tennis and rhythmic gymnastics. What a stand out opportunity for our families with the next star in their midst. If you’re not familiar with them, then scroll down and follow the links to find out a bit more about what they’ve got on offer. You can contact The McDonald College in Sydney directly to request an audition with the next round coming up on 24 May.
Look forward to seeing many of you in Dubbo this weekend – say hello! I’ll be there.

The only school of its kind
The McDonald College – A school for the performers of the future.
The McDonald College is a school where young people can pursue their passion and receive world-class performance training combined with a rigorous academic education.
It is the only school in Australia to offer performing arts genres such as Acting, Classical Ballet, Contemporary and Commercial Dance, Music, Musical Theatre as well as Elite Tennis and Rhythmic Gymnastics integrated into a regular school day.
Our co-ed boarding house provides a safe, caring and family-orientated environment. An environment where your child can develop academically, socially, physically and emotionally – all while pursuing their passion. We know that when students do something they love, they perform better at school and flourish as individuals preparing for life beyond school.

Concerts, theatre stages, tennis courts, swimming pools and more – Life at the Boarding House
The Boarding House at The McDonald College is always alive with energy and excitement. Taylor Swift, Pink, and Fred Again concert fever swept through our halls in Term 1, with lucky boarders securing tickets while others enjoyed the music and vibe outside the stadium.
