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.
