Events Calendar

College and community events can all be viewed in the calendar tab in the MyPymble app. We suggest parents and carers check the calendar regularly to keep up to date with the larger College schedule, including community events. This week we are gearing up for the launch of the Centre of Excellence.

Centre of Excellence Breakfast

Next Wednesday 31 May, we are launching the Centre of Excellence in the Gillian Moore Centre for Performing Arts, and are delighted to invite students and parents to join our Academic Prefects, Caitlyn Tan and Eloise Kinchington, along with our Principal, Dr Kate Hadwen, to join us at the first in a series of Centre of Excellence breakfast sessions.

Our guest speaker at this event is former NSW Premier and current Managing Director, Enterprise and Business at Optus, Gladys Berejiklian. Tickets for this event are free, but registration is essential. To secure your tickets, please click here.

Alumni Networking Event

Last Thursday 18 May Pymble and the Ex-Student Union (ESU) hosted the annual Alumni Networking Event at KPMG in Barangaroo. It was a fantastic evening with almost 300 attendees who were given the opportunity to engage in a Q+A with our panel and participate in a mentoring experience within their industry of choice.

I’d like to thank all the parents who took time out of their busy schedule to attend the evening and mentor the younger members of the Pymble community. We are also grateful for the support of the ESU in facilitating the event.

PPA Trivia Night

This year’s trivia event promises to be bigger and better than ever. With the theme of ‘Movie Characters’, the ticket includes a sit-down two-course meal, welcome drink and trivia entertainment. The raffle and auction prize listing boasts several high-value, money-can’t-buy items, such as:

  • A private lunch for one secondary student and ten of her friends with our Principal, Dr Kate Hadwen, during term time.
  • A private lunch for one Junior School student and three of her friends with Kate Brown, Head of Junior School.
  • A three-night stay at a beach house in Avoca Beach.
  • Vintage Cold Stream Hills Reserve Vertical Series Pinot Boir – set of three.
  • A Gucci handbag.

Don’t miss out – ticket sales close Friday 26 May. To book a ticket or a table of tickets, click here.

Enrolments News

The Enrolments tour of regional NSW continues this week with trips to Griffith, Wagga Wagga and Young, while back on the Pymble campus our Kindergarten to Year 11 Open Evening is on the horizon. We look forward to welcoming prospective families on site and giving them an opportunity to witness first hand the extensive facilities and stunning surrounds that comprise a Pymble education.
