Thank you to our parent volunteers!
Term 4 sees the end of some key committee terms on the PPA, JSPG & SSPG. On Tuesday 17 October the PPA held their Annual General Meeting culminating the end of a two-year term for several key positions. We would like to thank all outgoing executive members for their unwavering support and hard work, and we warmly welcome new office bearers for 2024.
The JSPG held their Term 4 meeting on Tuesday 24 October in the Junior School Library and parents were given a presentation by Mrs Kate Brown showcasing several exciting developments in the Junior School STEM program, and a summary of new wellbeing initiatives unveiled by Mrs Kate Giles. The latter featured a free upcoming Panel event open to all parents, A Focus on Student Wellbeing for Academic Success, on Tuesday 14 November at 6.00pm. To register, please click here.
On Friday 20 October the PPA hosted the annual Staff Appreciation Day Lunch for World Teacher’s Day. Pymble staff enjoyed a delicious barbecue in the spring sunshine on Marden Lawn. We are grateful for the continued care and support of the PPA and look forward to forging new paths together in 2024.

Masterplan and Other Moves
On Thursday 12 October the new Junior School Administration Hub, affectionately known as Hedgehog House, was opened as one of the first completed pieces of the College Master Plan. The state-of-the-art space is the new home of Junior School offices. If you would like to explore this space via video, please click here.
As part of the ongoing planning and creation of modern and cutting-edge spaces to supplement the outstanding education Pymble can offer, there will be some movement of offices around the College. To this end the College Shop will close for the year at 12.00pm on Wednesday 6 December.
