Come Alive! Launch

Our Year 12 girls brought incredible leadership and school spirit to the launch of their 2025 theme, Come Alive, with a brilliant banner reveal and some seriously impressive circus performances. Their energy, creativity and enthusiasm made for such a fun and memorable moment, bringing the whole school together in celebration. Their dance was full of cohesion and fun, reflecting the commitment the whole year group had made to rehearsing and performing. The performances were full of colour, excitement and plenty of skill, creating an atmosphere of pure joy. It was a fantastic way to kick off their final year, and a moment we won’t forget!

Senior Swimming Carnival

The Swimming Carnival was a fantastic day filled with fun, energy, and plenty of house spirit. Our competitive swimmers gave it their all, putting on some thrilling races that had the crowd cheering loudly. The ‘social swimmers’ got in on the action too, splashing about and having a great time in the pool. The house spirit was on full display with creative costumes, colourful banners, and some seriously impressive cheering. It was a great mix of competition, fun, and friendly rivalry – a day to remember!

Year 11 Information Night

A big thank you to all the Year 11 parents and carers who attended the Year 11 Information Night – it was wonderful to meet so many of you. We appreciate you taking the time to be there and hope you found the evening helpful as your daughters begin this important stage of their studies. A special thanks also to the staff who presented, sharing valuable insights and guidance for the year ahead.

For those who couldn’t attend, or if you’d like to revisit any of the information, access to the presentation, including the slides, is attached.

Congratulations!

Congratulations to Teagan Ning (Year 11) who was invited to perform Georgia Shaw’s Core Composition (Year 12 2024) in the HSC Callback Showcase last week at the Seymour Centre. Georgia’s Core Composition based on insomnia was selected for this showcase of exemplary HSC Dance 2024 works. Year 11 & 12 Dance students enjoyed attending the performance and the Pymble spirit was evident in the audience cheer!

Pymble-Knox Connections

We’re delighted to launch of our annual Pymble-Knox Positive Connections group. Interested students will participate in a range of social activities, after an initial getting-to-know-you session at Pymble Ladies’ College.

This group aims to foster healthy connections between Year 11 students of the two schools. Through this, we hope those involved further develop social skills and empathy, form new friendships and understand different perspectives. Meeting new people fosters social confidence, respectful relationships and builds skills in communicating and networking.

Each school is inviting up to 50 students to be involved this year. Those students who apply must commit to attending all meetings and wear their uniform as expected. A link and parental permission note will be sent this week.

From the Year 11 Parent Co-ordinators

We would like to invite all Year 11 parents to a coffee morning on Thursday 6 March at Bricklane Espresso, West Pymble. This is a casual catch up at the café for parents after the morning drop-off time.

We meet from 8.00am for about an hour and a half to two hours, but please feel welcome to arrive late or to come along for just half an hour if that is all you can spare.

Additionally, please save the date for a parent cocktail party on Friday 27 June which is the last day of Term 2. We are hoping by choosing this date that our Boarding parents may find it easier to be available to join us! Further details to follow.
