🩰YEAR 7 DANCE EXCURSION ✨

Our Year 7 Dance students recently visited the Sydney Dance Company to experience a live professional dance performance.

Selected based on their demonstrated interest in Dance at Penola, students had the opportunity to deepen their understanding of performance, composition and the appreciation of dance as an academic subject.

It was a wonderful opportunity for students to see professional dancers in action and be inspired as they continue to develop their own skills and passion for Dance

🏆 CELEBRATING ACHIEVEMENT AT ASSEMBLY 🏆

Our whole school assembly was a wonderful opportunity to come together as a community and celebrate the many achievements and contributions of our students.

We proudly recognised our Legacy Badge Day student volunteers, who demonstrated the Penola values of compassion, courage, integrity and hope by supporting Penrith Legacy and the families of returned service men and women. Their willingness to step forward and serve others is a wonderful example of putting our values into action.

We also celebrated the creativity of our students through the Penola Showcase People’s Choice Awards, recognising a winner from each grade along with highly commended artworks chosen by those who attended the Showcase. 🎨

Our sporting achievements were also celebrated, with Penola Age Champions, Swimming Carnival and Cross Country champions, as well as students who placed in the top three at our Swimming and Cross Country Carnivals, receiving recognition for their efforts. 🏊‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Congratulations to all our students who were recognised. These achievements reflect not only talent, but the dedication, courage and commitment to giving their best that we value at Penola.

✨ EXPLORING VOCATION AND HOLINESS ✝️

Our Year 10 students recently had the opportunity to hear from people living out different vocations within the Catholic Church, supporting their Religion learning this term on How can I be Holy?

Students explored what the Church means by holiness and vocation, and what this can look like through religious life and other pathways. They also had the opportunity to take part in a Q&A, asking questions and hearing personal stories of faith and vocation.

A special thank you to the Religious Sisters of Mercy of Alma, who sent Sisters Maria Neri and Maliya, and to Seminarian Deacon Luke for sharing their experiences and insights with our students.

🕵️‍♀️ YEAR 8 - CRIME STORY: WRITING UNLEASHED 📝

Our Year 8 students recently stepped into the world of forensic investigation through the Crime Story: Writing Unleashed workshop. Students explored an immersive crime scene, gathered clues, examined evidence and worked collaboratively to piece together what had happened.

The experience challenged students to look closely, ask thoughtful questions and distinguish between observation and inference. A fantastic hands-on opportunity for students to develop skills in asking insightful questions, working collaboratively and creating captivating narratives. 🔎

🛍️ YEAR 9 MARKET DAY 🍪

What a fantastic Market Day for our Year 9 Commerce students!

Students put their business skills into action, developing, marketing and selling a range of delicious food and treats to the Penola community.

Congratulations to our Year 9 students on their creativity, enthusiasm and hard work. It was wonderful to see their efforts come together while also supporting a great cause, with proceeds from Market Day going towards the St Vincent de Paul Christmas Appeal.

🌾 BEHIND THE SCARECROW 🌾

There’s a lot more that goes into a Penrith Show display than what you see on the day!

Our Year 7 Thursday Sport class, guided by Mr Shaw, took on the challenge of designing and building an Elsa scarecrow, complete with Olaf, putting their creativity, teamwork and practical skills into action.

And their hard work paid off! 🏆 Their High School Scarecrow took out 1st Place at the Penrith Show!

More importantly, the experience gave our students the opportunity to work together, learn something new and take pride in what they created.

A fantastic achievement, Year 7! And a big thank you to Mr Shaw for encouraging and guiding the students throughout the process. 💙🌾
