From the Middle School
Welcome back to Term 2. I trust that all of our Middle School families enjoyed the Easter break and the girls are feeling refreshed and ready to take on all the opportunities to interact, learn and grow that are available across the College in Term 2.
Thank you for ensuring that your daughter’s winter uniform was ready for the start of school; they looked so proud to be a Pymble girl when walking on to the campus on the first day. We appreciate your ongoing support with uniform as the College continues to focus on this important aspect of representation.
We are so proud of the many Year 7 students who have put themselves forward for leadership opportunities for the remainder of 2025 – we have been inundated with applications – and look forward to meeting many of the girls at the interviews.
The Year 8 National Exchange Program is set to roll out in Week 4 and 5. This will be a wonderful experience that allows the girls to become more independent and, in turn, be ambassadors for both Pymble and their families. We look forward to sharing their rich experiences.
We hope that the Year 8 Learning Discussions held at the end of Term 1 and the Year 7 Learning Discussions held this week were productive and a chance to celebrate the hard work of our Middle School students. A reminder that homework help is available to all students in the Conde Library from 3.30pm to 4.30pm, Monday through to Thursday. Please encourage your daughter to take advantage of the specialist teachers available to them at this time.
Thank you to all the families who are joining us for the Autumn Family Festival this evening. This promises to be a wonderful celebration of our community’s diversity and generosity. A special acknowledgement to the students who are performing or running stalls – your investment is most appreciated.
Congratulations to Eesha Marwah (Year 8) who spoke with such confidence at our Anzac Day Commemorative Service on Tuesday. Congratulations also to all students who have represented the College in co-curricular pursuits across the break; notably in swimming and diving, rowing, robotics and our Cattle Club at the Royal Easter Show.
All the best for a smooth and engaging Term 2 for Middle Schoolers.
