Learning at Penola

Parent Teacher Student Progress Meetings
Partnering with families is one of the most powerful ways to promote a sense shared common goals in a child’s learning journey. How we partner with families has evolved as we experienced remote and hybrid learning during the past two years. The first two dates of scheduled PTSPMs will occur via Microsoft TEAMs. Have you made your bookings?

Connecting with families is of vital importance to Penola staff as we discuss and reflect on students’ school experience thus far. As you are planning to meet with your child’s teachers, please prepare some questions you may wish to ask and review the academic feedback on MyPenola. In addition, please share with staff any information that may assist us to support your son/daughter with their learning. We look forward to meeting with as many parents as possible on:

• March 10 (Broadmeadows) TEAMS

• March 16 (Glenroy) TEAMS

• April 7 (Broadmeadows and Glenroy) FACE TO FACE


Learning Strategies
At Penola Catholic College it is our expectation that each student:

  • Displays creative and critical thinking skills
  • Effectively communicates ideas and information
  • Demonstrates a positive attitude to learning and strives for personal best
  • Is self-motivated and works well independently
  • Participates well in collaborative learning
  • Uses effective organisation strategies

By adopting these Learning Strategies students are able to strive for academic excellence and reach their full potential as learners. These 21st century skills will stand each student in good stead not only in our school setting, but also within the wider community.
