Two programs. One straightforward place to start.
Whether you are enquiring about The Whiteley College as a full school for your child, or looking for classes at A&L Academie de Danse, the process starts the same way — with a conversation.
We want to understand what you are looking for before we ask anything of you.
The Whiteley College
TWC is a full private school for Years 2 through to Year 12.
Enrolment is open throughout the year and begins with a simple enquiry.
-
Fill in the enquiry form below or contact us directly. Tell us a little about your child — their age, year level, and what has drawn you to TWC. There are no wrong answers at this stage. We just want to know where you are starting from.
-
Someone from TWC will be in touch to have a proper conversation. This is not a sales call — it is a chance for both sides to ask questions. We want to understand your child's experience, interests and goals. You want to understand whether TWC is genuinely the right fit. Both of those things matter equally here.
-
Based on that conversation, we will work out the right next step together. For some students that means an audition. For others it means a trial week first. For some it means both, in a sequence that makes sense for where they are and what they are working toward. We do not run a one-size process — the pathway through to enrolment is shaped around your child.
-
If TWC is the right fit — for your child and for us — we will make a formal offer of enrolment. We will walk you through everything you need to know at that point, including what to expect in the first weeks.
-
Paperwork is straightforward. We will confirm your child's start date, pathway placement, and timetable, and make sure you have everything you need before the first day.
A few things worth knowing
Enrolment is open at any point in the year — there are no fixed intake periods. A mid-year start is not unusual at TWC.
The audition for Dance and Musical Theatre & Drama students is not about being the most polished performer in the room. We are looking for potential, commitment and fit — not a finished product. Students who are still developing are absolutely welcome to enquire.
Students enrolling primarily for the academic pathway do not require an audition. The conversation at Step 2 is the most important part of their process.
THE ENROLLMENT PROCESS
A&L Academie De Danse
A&L is the part-time performing arts studio connected to TWC, based in the same building as TWC in Bowral, NSW. Classes run across the week for students from age 2 through to adults. No audition is required and enrolment is open year-round.
How to enrol at A&L
Get in touch with your child's age and the style or styles they are interested in — or if you are not sure, just tell us a bit about them and we will make a suggestion. We will match them to the right class and time, and let you know about trial class availability.
Styles currently offered at A&L include Ballet, Contemporary, Hip Hop, Jazz, Lyrical, Acrobatics, Musical Theatre, Drama, Singing, and Adult Ballet.
Fees
The Whiteley College
TWC fees are structured on a per-term basis. Because students can join at any point in the year and pathways vary, fees are confirmed as part of the enrolment conversation rather than published as a single flat rate.
As a guide:
Full year tuition (4 terms) — [$ figure]
Per term — [$ figure]
Enrolment fee (one-off, on acceptance) — [$ figure] [payable per year]
Fees cover academic tuition, performing arts training, use of all facilities, and standard program activities. Some items — including the annual European tour, examination fees, and specialist equipment — are additional and will be outlined clearly before any commitment is required.
Payment plans are available. If fees are a consideration for your family, please raise this as part of your enquiry conversation. We would rather have that conversation early than have it be the reason a family does not proceed.
A&L Academie De Danse
Fees are charged per term and vary depending on the number of classes attended per week.
Single class per week — [$ per term]
Two classes per week — [$ per term]
Three or more classes per week — [$ per term]
A class trial is available before committing to a full term.
Ask about this when you enquire.
