Campbelltown Performing Arts High School is both a comprehensive school serving the local community and a specialist performing arts (PA) high school. Students who live outside the school zone can enrol via as audition in one of the areas of music, dance, drama or circus. The Junior school offers a unitised vertical curriculum (UVC), and this broadens choice and encourages ownership of learning.

In 2002 the school appointed a new principal, Ms Robyn Pulbrook, (following the retirement of the previous principal) as well as the school moving through a programme review, conducted by the Department of Education and Training.

This review process allowed the school to look at the current curriculum patterns and the effectiveness in meeting student’s needs. The school is currently undergoing change.

The performing arts area and the opportunities it presents to our students are a feature of this school. Examples include, annual school performances that can involve several hundred students, Arts in the Dark – and annual presentation of the talents of our students in both creative and performing arts, regular presentation of the talents of our students in the NSW school spectacular and a range of regional and state festivals. Not to mention the numerous opportunities that students have to perform and support local community events.
