Extracurricular

Penola High School provides students with a wide range of extra-curricular activities designed to broaden students’ experience. 

​

We utilise peer mentoring within our site, and in collaboration with our feeder schools, to offer 

students authentic teaching and learning 

opportunities. Our students are also encouraged

to partake in local, state and national competitions, 

some of which are listed below. We have a strong

public speaking program with students participating

in a range of competitions, such as:

​

• Lions Voice of Youth

• Rostrum Voice of Youth

• Debating Eisteddfod

​

Students are also encouraged to enter literary and art competitions:

​

• Catherine Martin Literary Award

• The Country to Canberra Essay Writing Competition

​
