The McDonald College Open Day - 6 March

"My daughter is a changed child. She is finally excited to go to school and is so happy. The small classes are just what she needs to get her confidence back in academic work. The high standard of performing arts is exactly what she needs to excel. The genuine care for her is confirmation that we have made the right decision in changing schools.”

Kirstyn Burton, parent
