Year 12 Graduation Mass
Our Year 12 students and their parents will gather tomorrow evening, Friday 26 November at 6.00 pm for our Graduation Mass and ceremony. This promises to be a beautiful occasion as we welcome both students, parents and staff back on-site to celebrate our Mass in person for the first time since returning from lockdown. There is no better way to conclude our Year 12 students’ time here at Penola Catholic College than by sharing in the Eucharist together as a community. We will also be livestreaming the occasion so that extended family members and friends will be able to view the occasion from home. The livestream link can be accessed here.

You may or not be aware that we have a tradition, that when each student commences their schooling here at the College, their names are placed into our Penola Catholic College Sacred Community Chest. This is a symbol of their belonging and that they are each valued members of our College community. The Sacred Chest will be processed into Mass and will be present on the altar throughout. Although our Year 12 students will move on from the College following their Graduation, their names will remain forever in our Sacred Chest, as they are and always will be, a part of our Penola Catholic College community.

End of Year Masses – Monday 29 November
Our End of Year Masses will take place in the morning on Monday 29 November. This will consist of two Masses, one for all the students in Years 8-11 on the Broadmeadows Campus commencing at 9.00 am, followed by one for all our Year 7 students at the Glenroy Campus, commencing at 11.00 am. These will be beautiful ways to conclude our school year and give thanks to God for the positive personal and academic growth made by each student, despite the challenges faced through lockdown.

Our Year 8 students will be present in the ASH for the Broadmeadows Mass. All other Year Levels (Years 9 - 11) will have the Mass livestreamed to their Homerooms. Parents and family members will be able to view the livestream as it can be accessed via the link here.

Our Year 7 Mass will take place with all our Year 7 students present. This is important because our Year 7 student have not had many opportunities to experience the strength of our College’s Catholic identity in person this year. Virtually, they have participated in a feast of celebrations but it is wonderful that we can conclude the year together in each other’s presence.
