Campbelltown High School Of The Performing Arts
Campbelltown Performing Arts High School (CPAHS) is a government run secondary school specialising in the performing arts.
At Campbelltown Performing Arts, students are given opportunities to work on building their performing and creative talents, as well being given a space and environment in which to perform and utilise them.
The students of Campbelltown Performing Arts are either performing students or area students. Performing students are auditioned in one or more of: Music (Instruments or Vocal), Drama, Dance, and Circus, and then are accepted into the school. As Campbelltown Performing Arts is also the local public high school, students who live in the area may come to the school as area students.
Students interested in Drama can join after school groups (Company A or Company B) which run after school hours and give the students extra opportunities to expand their talents, and also give them extra opportunities to show-case the teacher's works. Students interested and talented in Music can join one of the many existing bands or choirs, start up their own band/choir or train as solo performers, and are given many opportunities to perform, whether it be at a school assembly, or at a state wide event. The school holds a performance called Arts in the Dark annually to showcase its students' work.
Campbelltown Performing Arts has a professional recording studio, which is a sound proofed room for students to practice musical pieces, and also to record soloists and bands to make a professionally made CD of the student(s) to take home or on some occasions are sold at CD launch concerts at the school.
