Upcoming Events
The College community events calendar can be found in the Calendar tab on MyPymble. Parents and carers are encouraged to check the app regularly, as the calendar is the best way to keep up to date on all the scheduled events and opportunities to connect with the College community. Tonight, we are looking forward to welcoming prospective Secondary School families onto campus for the Enrolments Open Evening.
Foundation Ball
We are delighted to invite parents and carers to the inaugural Pymble Foundation Gala Ball at the Art Gallery of NSW. The evening will be an unforgettable night of celebration in support of the Pymble Foundation, featuring fine dining, beautiful wines and exciting raffles and auctions.
The Pymble Foundation will focus on investment in the people, places and programs that will assist our students in their journey to become compassionate and influential young women who have the hearts, minds and skillset to make the world a better place. This includes new facilities and learning spaces on our two campuses, as well as bursaries (means-tested scholarships), which will enable our generous Pymble community to continue to give back to students who deserve, but may not be able to access, a world-class, life-changing education.
Due to the venue size tickets to this event are limited and will sell out quickly. Tickets are available now and can be purchased here.
We look forward to celebrating all things Pymble with you on the night.
Garden Party
On Saturday 16 September Pymble will once again welcome the spring season with our annual Garden Party. Always a favourite on the event schedule each year, Garden Party features an array of activities to captivate kids of all ages, with rides and amusements, market stalls, sideshows, animals, delicious meals and sweet treats, and sports and co-curricular activities. For updates on all things Garden Party be sure to visit our landing page frequently.
One of our most popular stalls each year is the Casualty Clearing stall. To run this stall we require the assistance of medical or physiotherapy students or professionals who can generously offer an hour or so of their time to plaster an arm or finger. If you can assist, please email Kathryn Clark at kathryn@clarkfamily.net.au.
The Unlimited Rides Wristbands are on sale now at an early bird price of $35.00 until Thursday 14 September. The wristband gives children the chance to enjoy exciting new rides as well as old favourites from 10.00am to 3.00pm. To purchase, please click here.
