Connecting with our new Pymble families

When a student starts their schooling journey at Pymble, it is an important time not only for her but for the entire family.

The College is committed to ensuring everyone feels welcome from the very first moment they walk through the gates and can meet other families to help them settle in and learn the ropes.

Through several of our parent events held over the course of the year, new parents are warmly welcomed into the community and start to discover what a truly special place Pymble is.

One of these important events is our annual New Parents’ High Tea which was attended by 150 Pymble parents and carers. We have created a short video of the event that captures the spirit of the Pymble community which you can view below.

A special thank you to our parent event co-ordinators Sunny Hres (PPA President) and Kai Jones (Year 7 co-ordinator).

Thank you once again to all the parents who attended this special event.

Pymble Parent Association (PPA) Events

We had great fun hosting the Pedal Your Own Smoothie event for Years 2 to 6 yesterday at lunchtime. Thanks to the JSPG for their hard work and the many volunteers that chopped and peeled fruit and encouraged the girls on the blender bikes.

The JSPG is now currently preparing the Decorate a Cookie event for next week on the last day of Term 1. 

Over the last week of term, keep an eye out for details of Term 2 Parent Group events, such as the JSPG Family Picnic on Saturday 20 May from 3.00pm on Main Oval. The Parent Daughter Year 6 Dance is also on the horizon on Saturday 27 May at Killara Golf Club.

In Term 2 the PPA will host:

  • Mother’s Day Morning Tea Charity Event, Friday 12 May
  • Trivia Night, Saturday 3 June at Hornsby RSL
  • Dragon Boat Festival Cultural Event on-campus in the last week of term

Invitations for these events will be communicated to you before the end of term.

Careers Expo

Pymble is hosting its annual Careers Expo on Monday 3 April from 5.30pm to 8.00pm in the Kate Mason and Conde Buildings, open to all students from Year 9 to 12. The digital program will be available shortly to allow students and parents to plan their evening. We look forward to welcoming more than 25 universities and employers, as well as 35 alumni mentors to counsel students and parents on career opportunities following their HSC.
