After careful consideration we are pleased to announce the Secondary Leaders for 2024-2025. This is the highest leadership honour we can bestow on students at the College. 

We often think of leaders as those who are charismatic, confident, and have all the right qualities on the outside. But true leadership isn't just about appearances. The most important qualities of a leader lie within a leader’s heart or as we often talk about at the College, the most important qualities of a leader are the strength of their character. 

Please pray for our new leaders, that they will carry out their positions with wisdom and godliness.

The Penrith Anglican College Parents and Friends’ Association (P&F) will be hosting its rescheduled Colour Run fundraiser on Tuesday 2 July 2024. The event will commence shortly after 11am for students in Years 3-6, followed by Pre-K to Year 2 students from 12pm. 

Students participating in the Colour Run are required to pay a $20 entry fee. 

If you have already purchased a ticket for the previous date, it is still valid. 

This fee can be paid via Flexischools or cash at College Reception. 

Parents and younger siblings can join for a $20 family entry fee and will be allowed to enter the course during the first half of lunchtime (12:55 to1:16pm). 

What to wear: house colours mufti-day with a white shirt. (with usual College dress code) 

The coloured powder is safe (cornflour based) and the colour washes out easily, however we recommend students do not wear good clothes or shoes. 

All participants will be issued with a pair of bright coloured sunglasses to protect their eyes and will be rewarded with a frozen ice block at the completion of the course. 

Parents, family and friends are encouraged to attend on the day to cheer on students and join their children for a BYO Picnic lunch on The Farm following the event. 

Students can be signed out at the completion of their event. 

Supervision will be provided for all students who remain at the College until the normal finishing time. Written permission will be required for a child to go home with someone else. 

Thank you to our generous sponsors.

Enrolment demand at the College continues to be strong and there are currently only limited places available for 2025. If you would like a place for a sibling please apply now. We also encourage anyone who is seeking a place at the College to apply early - enrolments are being taken now for 2026.
