The McDonald College is an independent, co-educational, non-denominational, performing arts, day and boarding school, located in North Strathfield, an inner western suburb of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Established in 1984, the school currently caters for approximately 240 students from Year 3 to Year 12,〔 including 37 female boarders from Year 7 to 12.〔 It is Australia's only 3 to 12, independent school that provides specialist training in the Performing Arts on a daily basis. The college is a member of the Association of Heads of Independent Schools of Australia (AHISA), the Junior School Heads Association of Australia (JSHAA), the Australian Boarding Schools' Association (ABSA), and the Association of Independent Schools of New South Wales (AISNSW). == History == Whilst officially established in 1984, The McDonald College has a tradition and history dating back to the establishment of the Ann McDonald College of Dancing by Ann McDonald, a dance and singing teacher, in 1926. On Ann McDonald's retirement her daughter, Margaret Markham, took over the Ann McDonald College of Dancing. In 1983 Markham saw the opportunity for establishing a specialist academic and performing arts school for gifted children, and subsequently, in partnership with Ann Fraser and Maxine Kohler, agreed to change the Ann McDonald College of Dancing from a private company into a community-based, not-for-profit company limited by guarantee, thus facilitating the establishment of The McDonald College Limited.〔 The McDonald College commenced in 1984 with 75 students in Strathfield. The school moved to its current campus, formerly the site of the Telstra Training School, in North Strathfield in 1999.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The McDonald College」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
