Music Program
Music is a big part of the Woodleigh Culture.
Penbank offers voice and instrumental lessons, orchestras and rock bands. Many of our students participate in one or more of these, and concerts are regular, informal and formal.
At the beginning of each school year, Private Instrumental Tuition Forms are available through Operoo. You must complete them should your child wish to take lessons.
For questions and information contact the Music Department.
Community
Each Woodleigh Campus has a Parents and Friends Group (PFG), a fantastic way to participate in school life. Each campus committee works collaboratively, and each member has specific responsibilities.
To be involved, we invite you to get in touch.
Communications
Woodleigh uses Schoolstream, an App that provides everything you need to keep up with school, all in one place.
Penbank Notice Board
Until you have access to Schoolstream you can find notices here.
