Performing Arts at PSC
Pakenham Secondary College has established an exciting Performing Arts Program in 2023. Our Performing Arts Program consists of Music, Drama and Dance.
This year we are thrilled to produce our debut production "Back to the 80s"!
A pop culture trip down memory lane, Back to the 80's tells the story of Corey Palmer and his senior year of high school: his best friends, the class bully, and the girl he loves. Comedy, hijinks and a fantastic soundtrack, this show is a blast into the past and a fun time for everyone!
Tickets are now available for this fabulous event.
