A flashback to McDonald College's 'Billy Elliot'

Post by kport »

This just popped up on Youtube......I believe it came from a school production at McDonald College Strathfield, N.S.W, back in 2008. If memory serves, the school had a link with BETM in Australia at the time (through its music staff?). It looks as though they had a lot of fun (are there any familiar faces there?).

It's where the kids trained for the show in Sydney, and I believe they were also housed there.

Since we still have a section for Chat about BETM Australia, I am going to move this thread into that section.

Sorry, just saw this post. Bit late I know but it took a long time for the carrier pigeon to arrive down here.

McDonald College is where the child cast members attended school. Most from memory actually continued their schooling there after they finished, if they were from Sydney.

While I am still not 100% sure where the Billy House was, it was in the same suburb as McDonald College.

McDonald College is a Performing Arts School and takes students up to Year 12 for their Higher School Certificate.
Cheers
