25.01.2022 Our 2020 Captain of Sustainability - Chloe Fitton, Year 12 Penola School Council Representative Danidu Weerasinghe and Year 12 student James Casey, recognised that the way in which we remembered the spirit of ANZAC would be very different this year. This didn’t stop these 3 students showing their sincere respect and commemoration. Thank you to Chloe, Danidu and James for your display of leadership.

08.01.2022 Office Christmas Hours

08.01.2022 This term as a Year 9 & 10 fitness component, the students completed body fit classes instructed by F45 Gladstone Park and Oak Park Sports and Aquatic Centre. After uncertain times, COVID has forced us to complete these sessions online and on campus. It has been a great pleasure to have both these organisations help agree to do this. We wish to thank every year 9 & 10 student who participated including every teacher involved.

08.01.2022 In 2019, our College Captains, Chan and Vishnu attended the JJAMM Student Leaders Conference in February at Kincumber (NSW). At this conference they had the opportunity to meet other student leaders from Josephite schools to discuss their goals for the year ahead. Each school gave a presentation about their school to the other leaders and one of the things that struck both Chan and Vishnu was the fact that Penola Catholic College was very multicultural in comparison to many o...ther schools. They both decided that our Cultural diversity was a great strength of Penola and wanted to celebrate this in some way. They decided to run a competition amongst students for the design of a mural to be painted on the back wall of the ASH at the Broadmeadows campus to celebrate our cultural diversity. Jaida Mazotta’s (Current Year 10 student) design was selected and it has now been translated into a large mural on our oval that can be seen from the trains running on the Craigieburn line towards Broadmeadows.
