Penrith Community Filipino School - From the Principal's Desk

The 2011 Minister's awards for excellence in student achievements was held on the 5th of September at Sir John Clancy Auditorium, University Of New South Wales. This event was held to recognize the achievements of outstanding students of community language schools. The Penrith Community Filipino School are proud to acknowledge Aminah Ashley Angkaya, the recipient of the highly commended in senior section - Secondary Level and Rivir Candelario for receiving the highly commended in junior section - Primary Level awards.

I, together with Dr Alexis Leones, Dodee Leones, Divina Ibarra, Rowie Angkaya, Lee Candelario and Allan Candelario were very proud to witness the awards ceremony.

We would also like to welcome our new volunteer and member of staff, Rosyline Caro.

Our Subli and Tinikling performances on the 11th of October at the Penrith City Council were greatly appreciated by our Mayor Cr. Greg Davis and visiting students from Tullibigeal Central School. They were thankful to witness such cultural diversity that we have in our Penrith Community. Congratulations to all the students, parents and staff members who contributed to a rewarding year.

We always aspire and encourage everyone to keep sharing your time and talent to be a part of our community.

Maraming Salamat Po.

Mrs. Marie Bandayrel
