On the 19th of September staff and participated in helping the less fortunate by volunteering at night to Vinnies Van.
Students ventured out into the elements to provide hot coffee, chocolate, and soup along with sandwiches and great conversation to those less fortunate doing it tough. This is a great insensitive that allows students to be able to recognize how fortunate they are as well as allow students to give back to those in need.
The Vinnies Van provides friendship, compassion, and dignity to those experiencing homelessness and social isolation in the Mount Druitt and Parramatta areas. It also provides food and referral. It operates 364 days per year and provided 8,790 meals last year.
Thank you to all our staff students who participated in volunteering for this great cause.

⭐ VISIT TO PARLIAMENT OF NSW & HYDE PARK BARRACKS ⭐ Our Year 10 Commerce students recently joined our Year 11 and 12 Legal Studies students, Mrs Ftynogiannis, Mrs Vella, and Mr Seale, on a fun day in the city to visit the Parliament of NSW and the Hyde Park Barracks Museum. The group discussed upcoming development and issues of importance to local youth with our local member, Mrs Karen McKeown OAM MP, who was very impressed with the inquisitiveness of our future voters. The group also watched in astonishment the theatrics of Question Time in both the Legislative Assembly and Legislative Council Chambers to see how our legal system works in action. The group finished the day living our convict history with an audio guide walk-through of the UNESCO World Heritage Hyde Park Barracks. Mrs Ftynogiannis, Mrs Vella, and Mr Seale commented that it was terrific to see the students immerse themselves in such vital stories of Sydney's Indigenous and colonial history.

⭐ NAIDOC WEEK ⭐ NAIDOC Week is being celebrated across the country this week from 6-13 July 2025. At Penola Catholic College, we observed NAIDOC Week last week, coming together as a community to acknowledge and honour the rich culture, history, and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples over the past 50 years. We began the week with a Smoking Ceremony at the front of the school on Monday morning - a powerful and respectful welcome to mark the beginning of our celebrations. Throughout the week, students had the opportunity to participate in a range of cultural activities including traditional weaving, rock painting and contributing to a collaborative NAIDOC Week art piece. These activities not only deepened students' understanding and appreciation of Aboriginal culture but also encouraged meaningful reflection on this year’s NAIDOC theme - The Next Generation: Strength, Vision and Legacy. We extend our sincere thanks to Mr Searle for his leadership and organisation of the week's events. Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese National NAIDOC

⭐ THE PUSH UP CHALLENGE ⭐ We want to extend a huge congratulations to the Penola Community for their incredible enthusiasm and participation in this year’s Push Up Challenge. Your commitment to getting involved has truly helped shine a spotlight on an important cause. Each year, this challenge reminds us of the lives lost to suicide in Australia, encouraging hundreds of thousands of Australians to complete push-ups that represent those numbers, while learning vital mental health facts along the way. At Penola, our students joined together in their year groups during recess and lunch, showing outstanding spirit and solidarity with their peers. To all our students and staff who got involved, your participation helped raise awareness and promote positive mental health across our entire College community. Thank you for standing together, supporting one another, and making a difference. A special mention goes to our finalists who were lucky enough to enjoy a pizza lunch on Friday! A well-deserved celebration of their efforts! #thepushupchallenge #pushforbetter #mentalhealth Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese The Push-Up Challenge
