The Performing Arts Centre, otherwise known as the PAC, the Auditorium, or the Blackwood Community Recreation Centre, was constructed in 2002 with funds raised in several school and commnunity-based fundraisers ^[3]. It features several sound-proofed rooms, computing eqiupment, musical instruments, and a large theatre and stage, with a booth for controlling the lighting and sound effects. The PAC is also used by the community as a church on Sunday mornings.

Blackwood High recently featured a 'Big Day In', which featured many bands that performed in the Auditorium.
Every year, the school puts on an amateur performance. Previous plays included parodies on reality television, ghosts, gangster movies, and Superman. This year (2007) the play is Rats, based on the life of Dick Wittington.
