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.

Famous quotes containing the words performing arts, high, school, performing and/or arts:
“More than in any other performing arts the lack of respect for acting seems to spring from the fact that every layman considers himself a valid critic.”
—Uta Hagen (b. 1919)
“Humor does not include sarcasm, invalid irony, sardonicism, innuendo, or any other form of cruelty. When these things are raised to a high point they can become wit, but unlike the French and the English, we have not been much good at wit since the days of Benjamin Franklin.”
—James Thurber (1894–1961)
“I go to school to youth to learn the future.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“And no one, it seemed, had had the presence of mind
To initiate proceedings or stop the wheel
From the number it was backing away from as it stopped:
It was performing prettily; the puncture stayed unseen....”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“Self-expression is not enough; experiment is not enough; the recording of special moments or cases is not enough. All of the arts have broken faith or lost connection with their origin and function. They have ceased to be concerned with the legitimate and permanent material of art.”
—Jane Heap (c. 1880–1964)
