The Penrith Anglican College is an independent Anglican co-educational early learning, primary and secondary day school, located in Orchard Hills, near Penrith. The College is a member school of the Sydney Anglican Schools Corporation and caters for approximately 1,500 students from early learning, through Year KtoYear 12.
Penrith Anglican College's four houses are Cranmer Cobras (yellow), Latimer Lions (red), Ridley Raptors (blue), and Ryle Rhinos (green).
In 2018, the Acting Head Felicity Grima signed a petition with the Anglican Diocese of Sydney to retain s 38(3) in the Sex Discrimination Act 1984(Cth) which allows private religious schools “the right to employ staff who support the ethos of the school. This is not inconsistent with the practice of most employers and their corporate goals, let alone political parties,” the letter said.
“It is essential that a teacher supports the values, ethos and mission of the school as much as he or she can. It is not appropriate, for example, for a teacher to undermine or denigrate the beliefs and teaching of an employing school.” [1] In the petition it was argued that a more general right' to religious freedom should exist, and the existing exemptions, however, clumsy in the Sex Discrimination Act, should remain.[1]
