Macarthur School of Rock has been awarded Headliner status for 2025, following its Headliner Award recognition in 2024.

The Headliner Award is one of the highest honours within the global School of Rock network, recognising schools that demonstrate excellence across student outcomes, educational delivery, community impact, and operational performance.

With more than 350 School of Rock locations worldwide, repeat recognition places Macarthur among a small group of schools that continue to set the standard year after year.

“This award reflects the culture our team has built over time,” said Ken Martin, Director of the Sydney School of Rock locations.

“It’s not about a single strong year, it’s about consistency, care, and showing up for our students and families every day.”

School of Rock Macarthur has become a cornerstone of the local creative community in South-West Sydney, delivering performance-based music education where students learn by playing in bands, rehearsing weekly, and performing live on real stages.

Beyond developing musical skills, the program focuses on building confidence, collaboration, and a strong sense of belonging for students of all ages.

Being named a Headliner School for 2025 reinforces Macarthur’s position as a leader in music education and reflects the dedication of its staff, students, and families who continue to make the school a thriving musical community.
