Garden Party
Garden Party 2023 was a beautiful day and it was wonderful to see so many families out in the sunshine enjoying the stalls and activities. Our heartfelt thanks go to our entire Pymble community for making the day such a success. Special mentions to the parent convenors and volunteers working hard for weeks and on the day, the incredible bakers, and the many generous donors. Big or small, we are incredibly grateful for all of your contributions.
Year 12 Farewell
This week we farewelled our Year 12 students with their Final Assembly and ESU/Alumni presentation and today’s Speech Day, Final Chapel Service and Morning Tea. What a bittersweet week it’s been watching the girls forge ahead with all that Pymble has armed them with. Tonight’s Valedictory Dinner will be the Year 12 students’ final celebration, and we wish them all the best in their exam period and beyond. They will always be Pymble girls.

Pymble Parent Association (PPA) Annual General Meeting and College Board Thank You Cocktail Party
The PPA Annual General Meeting will be held on Tuesday 17 October in the David Macfarlane Centre from 6.00pm to 7.00pm. The PPA is a crucial part of Pymble life, running many events and activities throughout the year that would not be possible without their support.
The meeting will include an overview of PPA activities for 2023, an induction for the 2024 committee and plans for the coming year. The AGM is a great opportunity to connect with other parents and College staff and develop an understanding of the many events and initiatives the PPA assists with.
Immediately following the AGM at 7.00pm, the College Board invites all parent volunteers of any capacity to join James Hunter, Chair of the Board on Gloucester Lawn for the College Board Thank You Cocktail Party.
This event recognises the hard work and dedication of all our parent volunteers throughout the year. If you have donated time, money or goods of any description in 2023, we want to celebrate your contribution and enjoy the beautiful surrounds of the College with some delicious food and drinks. We hope to see you there.
