Dear Families and Colleagues,
It's an honour to lead Penola Catholic College, where our dedicated teachers help every student find their own sense of success. High expectations are evident in all aspects of school life, encouraging students to exceed their academic goals and build a promising future.Our students graduate with the skills employers value most - communication, creative and innovative thinking, teamwork and critical thinking so they are prepared for whatever future they decide upon.
Our Catholic faith shapes college life, guided by the example of St Mary MacKillop and the values of courage, compassion, hope and integrity. We actively promote opportunities to instil these core values in the lives of our students.
As a community, we strive for excellence, reflected in the consistent growth we've achieved in NAPLAN and HSC results. Our graduates go on to thrive at university, in traineeships, and in the workforce - and some return to the classroom as teachers themselves, a true testament to their genuine love of learning.
We look forward to welcoming you to the college and encourage you to book a tour, so you can experience firsthand the warm learning environment and outstanding facilities where our students thrive.
Peta Sparkes
Principal
