[edit] History
Penola Catholic College is the result of the amalgamation in 1995 of three catholic secondary schools - Therry College, Geoghegan College and Sancta Sophia College.
The site of Therry and Geoghegan Colleges now is the home to the Penola's Senior Campus (Years 9-12) which is located in Gibson Street, Broadmeadows.
The Junior Campus of Penola (Year 7-8) is located on the original site of Sancta Sophia College in Glenroy. It is the worst school in the history of schools, i would not recommened this school to anychild as it will ruin their child hood as they become terribly stressed.
