The McGregor Schools established itself as one of the premier residential, performing, visual and creative arts learning experiences in Australia.  Over 700 participants converge on the USQ campus in Toowoomba for this popular residential arts retreat held in January and July.

The Summer School, now in its 42nd year, has gained an excellent reputation for its intimate creative atmosphere.  It has a larger and broader focus than the Winter School, now in its 22nd year.  The quality of tuition and the attractive relaxing atmosphere of the USQ campus are a feature of the Schools.

The McGregor on the Bay intensive workshops will be held again at the USQ Fraser Coast campus in Hervey Bay from 17 to 20 September 2010.

For the first time the USQ McGregor Schools will be offering weekend workshops at the College of Wine Tourism in Stanthorpe.  There are three offerings for the McGregor in the Vines program for 2010 in creative writing, choral work and an archaeology lecture.
