Each year, Year 10 students at Penrith Anglican College work together to support a charity. This year,

the current cohort chose Parkinson’s NSW as their charity. Throughout the year, Year 10 students

worked together to raise money through cake stalls, gold coin mufti day and selling chocolates. On

Wednesday 27 November, Year 10 celebrated their achievements at their Charity Ball and were able

to present a cheque for $5,500 to a representative from Parkinson’s NSW.

Mrs Felicity Grima, Principal, said, “Giving back is a very important part of an education at Penrith

Anglican College. More than just focussing on academic achievements, we strive to build the

character of each student and supporting charities is a great way to get students to think beyond

themselves.’

“It is our hope that our graduates will take this idea of service into the communities they live and work

in to make a difference for Christ.”
