Head of Boarding

A rare and exciting job opportunity with Australia’s premier performance-centred school

The McDonald College is an independent, non-denominational, co-educational school located in North Strathfield. We teach the NESA academic curriculum from K – 12, through to the NSW HSC.

Our Mission of the College is to nurture individual journeys in a creative and inclusive learning community that values intellectual inquiry and ethical decision-making.

We are unique in our offering of performing arts and elite sports. Disciplines include Acting, Classical Ballet, Contemporary Dance, Dance, Music, Musical Theatre, Technical Production, and Elite Tennis.

There is a real sense of community at The McDonald College and students are at the heart of everything we do. We share in their passion for performance – whether that is on-stage, on a court or in the classroom.

Our Boarding House environment is more like a big family living in a home away from home.  We celebrate student milestones, performances and achievements together while providing guidance and support for these young people living so far from home.
