Garden Party

On Saturday September 16 the College will once again host our annual Garden Party. This event is one of the most memorable on the calendar and over the next month there will be plenty of information about activities and attractions for the big day. For all new Garden Party details, please visit our landing page regularly. 

Unlimited ride wristbands are already on sale, with this year’s event featuring exciting new rides such as the Riptide along with old favourites such as the cups and saucers, dragon wagon rollercoaster, turbo flyers and the giant slide. There are rides for all ages along with arcade games and attractions in sideshow alley.  

The Unlimited Rides Pass allows purchasers to enjoy all the rides at Garden Party between 10.00am and 3.00pm. The pass is excellent value for money and will keep the kids entertained over the course of the day.

Another much-loved stall, Casualty Clearing, makes a return at this year’s event. We are seeking the assistance of parents and community members that are in physiotherapy and medical fields, or students studying physio that can assist for an hour or so at the Casualty Clearing Station.

Foundation Ball

In early 2023 we announced the formation of the Pymble Foundation, which was established to lead philanthropic engagement throughout our community. This philanthropy aims to benefit current and future generations of Pymble girls. The aim of the organisation is to fund buildings and facilities, scholarships, bursaries, and other programs that will enable the College to remain a world leader in educating girls and young women.  

To celebrate the inaugural year of the Pymble Foundation, we are excited to invite you to our inaugural Pymble Foundation Ball on Saturday 14 October at the Art Gallery of NSW for a night of fun and community. Tickets go on sale next Monday 14 August. Please put this date in the calendar as tickets are limited and we recommend you book early to avoid disappointment.
