Creative and Performing Arts

At Campbelltown Performing Arts, our Creative & Performing Arts Faculty is dedicated to inspiring creativity, confidence, and connection in every student. We believe the arts are a vital part of a well-rounded education, fostering not only technical skill but also resilience, self-expression, and collaboration. Our programs provide a safe and supportive environment where students are encouraged to explore and extend their artistic potential, embrace creative opportunities, and develop the skills and confidence to excel both on stage and beyond school.

Our vision is to nurture passionate, skilled, and confident young performers and artists who leave school with the ability to think creatively, work collaboratively, and adapt to a rapidly changing world. Whether students aspire to a career in the arts or simply wish to grow as individuals, the Creative & Performing Arts provide lifelong skills that students can take with them in the workplace.
