Overview
Nepean Creative and Performing Arts High School was founded in 1963 as Nepean High School[3] and became a creative and performing arts school in 2011, and provides an education for students from Year 7 to Year 12. The school is open to many including local students, auditioned students and students in the special education program. In 2010 the number of students attending the school was above 500. Since the CAPA program was started that number has risen to over 1,000. The school's motto is "Aspire the Heights".[4] The school has been involved in School Spectacular, including at least one student being a featured artist.[5]
Animal cruelty attacks
In 2009 the school was the target of several attacks on its agricultural areas; a goat, several chickens and other animals were killed and/or mutilated.[6] The perpetrators were not identified; however, sympathy was shown from all across the region and a walk-a-thon helped raise funds to replace the animals and improve security.
