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, voting and an induction for the 2024 committee and plans for the coming year. It will also cover the Term 4 Secondary School Parent Group meeting. 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 and carer volunteers throughout the year. If you have donated your time or provided other support 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.
