Dragon Boat Dinner
Last Friday 21 July the College hosted the first Cultural Festival, which in its inaugural year focussed on the Dragon Boat Festival, an important event on the Chinese cultural calendar. We loved seeing nearly 600 members from all corners of our Pymble community on campus to celebrate the diverse nature of the College.
The evening was full of performances from students in Kindergarten to Year 12, with craft stations and delicious yum cha-style treats also on offer. We’d like to send a sincere thank you and congratulations to the girls that performed and the parents, carers and staff from across the College who were involved. Please enjoy this short video of the festivities.
Vision Valley
Our second campus at Vision Valley also has a full calendar of events curated for Pymble students. Outdoor education is an important part of the Pymble experience, but use of the state-of-the-art facilities and stunning surrounds are not limited to year-group camps.
This term the Vision Valley team are excited to be hosting the Year 6 Father Daughter Camp and the Year 10 Mother Daughter lunch. These events offer an opportunity for parents to enjoy a range of games and activities with their daughters in a relaxed outdoor environment. Stay tuned for more information regarding opportunities for our families to visit Vision Valley.
Father’s Day
On Friday 1 September the College will host a Father’s Day event for all Pymble families and students. Dads and special friends will be welcomed on site to enjoy lunch and some games together on Main Oval. In the spirit of Pymble Gives Back this year’s event will support the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia. More details will follow.
Enrolments on the road
Early this term our Enrolments team continued their tour of regional NSW, with visits to Moree and Narrabri. After attending the Narrabri Expo, Pymble held an event in Moree attended by some of our Boarding families and by Dr Hadwen. These events give our team the opportunity to connect with current and future Pymble families in their hometowns and offer an invaluable insight into the needs and requirements of our Boarding students to ensure their Pymble experience feels like home.
Foundation Ball
The Pymble Foundation leads philanthropic engagement across our community. This philanthropy benefits current and future generations of Pymble girls by funding buildings and facilities, scholarships, bursaries and other programs. It also enables the College to remain a world leader in educating girls and young women.
We are excited to announce our inaugural Pymble Foundation Gala Ball will take place on Saturday 14 October at the Art Gallery of NSW for a night of fun and community. Invites will be sent to the community next month.
