New Principal For Trinity Catholic School

Mrs Penny Lucas has been appointed the new principal at Trinity Catholic School Murrumburrah. Penny is a long time resident of Harden Murrumburrah and has been at Trinity for over 16 years.

She is also committed to the community through her involvement with Harden Picnic Race Committee, the Junior Red Devils Committee, and the Harden - Murrumburrah Show.

Reflecting on her appointment, Penny shared, “I feel so privileged and excited to be appointed as Principal of Trinity Catholic School. Our staff are dedicated professionals who help students achieve exceptionally high standards. We have a strong base for growth, and our students are the reason we come to school each day - to fill their learning with wonder, joy and kindness.”

Penny believes wholeheartedly in the power of small schools.

“Trinity has a long and proud history. We will continue to provide quality Catholic education for families for the next hundred years. Our small class sizes allow us to truly know each child and support them individually. I have worked in schools of 200 and 700 students, and I love the close relationships, calm environment and strong sense of teamwork that come naturally in a small school. My own four children have been through Trinity, and I’ve witnessed for myself the way a small school nurtures confidence, character and a strong sense of belonging.”

Looking ahead, Penny is eager to welcome new families in 2026 while continuing to partner closely with the current school community.

“We are exceptionally lucky to have such an enthusiastic and hard-working parent body. They go above and beyond to support the school and deeply appreciate the extra opportunities provided for our students,” she said.
