Under the leadership of principal Tracey Kift, the college continues to deliver an environment where students are known, supported and inspired to be their best.

The college’s goal is to nurture confident, compassionate and capable young people. Staff want students to step into the future equipped with knowledge, values and the belief that they can make a difference.

Rooted in Catholic values and a strong sense of community, Penola provides a learning environment where excellence is a way of life. In everything they do, staff are proud to live out the message that Penola is Excellence, in learning, in leadership, in faith and in character.
