School of Rock Macarthur

06 May 2026

Mr GREG WARREN (Campbelltown)—I rise to recognise an outstanding local music education provider who is making a profound difference in the lives of young people across Western Sydney and indeed in Campbelltown. School of Rock Macarthur has recently been honoured with the prestigious 2025 Headliner Award, an international recognition granted to just 45 schools out of 439 worldwide. This remarkable achievement places them among the very best globally. This is the second consecutive year that School of Rock Macarthur has won this prestigious award. Beyond the accolade, what truly sets them apart is their impact on students and families. An independent study into the School of Rock program found that 95 per cent of parents report their children are happier, 96 per cent see increased confidence, and more than 80 per cent say their child feels a stronger sense of belonging. Through a performance based model, students learn music while building teamwork, friendships and life skills. For many young people, these schools are more than just bricks and mortar, they are a place to learn life lessons and to build their community. Congratulations School of Rock Macarthur on this well deserved recognition.
