Everyone at The Australian Ballet School thanks you for being part of our family this year - we wish you a happy and healthy festive season. 

In the words of the great American educator Mary Ellen Chase, Christmas is not a date, but a state of mind. 

We salute your support of the School this year; gifts like yours enabled us to directly support some 40 students who were in financial need. 

With two-thirds of our annual funding derived from non-government sources, we depend on donors to keep us at the forefront of dance education, nationally and internationally.  

We hope that you continue to empower our students to dream big - in the New Year and beyond. 

Together we can help them flourish, and ensure the vitality of ballet in Australia.

Donations will be gratefully received at any level. Should you wish to direct your gift to a specific area, a detailed list of programmes seeking support is available by contacting Philanthropy on (03) 9669 2810 or email  philanthropy@australianballetschool.com.au. We would be more than happy to discuss the very best option for you.

All gifts to The Australian Ballet School are tax deductible.

How will the funds be used?

Donations will be used to assist the School in training talented young dancers. Gifts can be directed to specific areas if requested including bursaries, scholarships, our exchange programme, Graduation Performance, End of Year Performance or our Endowment Fund.
