For students in academic year 11 and above, we offer Nationally recognised courses in Dance.

The Advanced Diploma is a qualification higher than a normal year 12 ATAR and can be used as entry for many University courses.

Description
The Conlan College offers two distinct streams of full time training. Entry is by private audition and is restricted to those students who we believe will be successful in following a career in the dance industry.
For students in academic years 8 to 10, we offer our traditional full time program that works in conjunction with academic studies. Students enrol in the distance education program of their choice and combine that with our very rigorous schedule of full time classes. They attend five days per week from 9am to 4pm and all requirements of their courses are covered during those hours. This allows these students to attend to their academic requirements in the evenings and on the weekends.
