Our dedicated team of educators is committed to cultivating an atmosphere of high aspirations, where every student is empowered to realize their utmost potential within a compassionate and secure setting. We engage in forward-thinking planning to deliver student-centered education, adhering to the Australian Curriculum for years 7 to 12, while also offering an extensive selection of subjects in the SACE, inclusive of Vocational Education pathways.

The ethos of Penola High School is encapsulated in our school motto, “Nurturing Individual Success.” This principle is woven into the fabric of our extensive pastoral care initiatives and is a cornerstone of our students’ daily experiences. We are devoted to fostering a culture where each individual is encouraged to strive for excellence, unlocking their unique capabilities and the collective potential of our student body.

As a proud member of the public education system, we champion active student engagement in all facets of school life, including a variety of extracurricular pursuits and community involvement. Our core values—respect, connectivity, resilience, inclusivity and the promotion of healthy lifestyles—underpin our vibrant school culture. Penola High School takes pride in offering rich opportunities for participation and has garnered commendable achievements in Public Speaking, leadership, and sports.

The school thrives under the guidance of an engaged Governing Council and is bolstered by robust community backing.
