New Direct Entry Pathway - Macarthur Anglican School

We have established a direct entry pathway from our High School Preparation (HSP) program into Macarthur Anglican School. Students who successfully complete our HSP program will achieve direct entry without the need to sit an IELTS test.

Macarthur Anglican School is an independent Christian school with a strong academic focus. It provides for a child's education from the age of 4 years, when they can enter our pre-Kindergarten (Transition) class, through to about 18 when students complete the NSW Higher School Certificate.

As well as the focus on academics, the school gives a lot of emphasis to performance and the use of computer technology. For further information on the school, please visit www.mas.nsw.edu.au
