Campbelltown High School of the Performing Arts

Campbelltown Performing Arts High School (CPAHS) is a specialist secondary school located in Campbelltown, New South Wales, Australia run by the New South Wales Department of Education and Training.

At Campbelltown Performing Arts, students are given the opportunity 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/or Circus , and are accepted into the school. As Campbelltown Performing Arts is also the local public high school, students who live in the area 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 showcase the teachers works. Students interested in Music can join one of the many existing bands or choirs, start up their own band/choir or remain 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.
