What a sensational start to our Junior School Hockey season!
In Round 1, we saw a lot of energy, enthusiasm, and fantastic teamwork, making for an exciting opening weekend of matches.
It was inspiring to see our students play with such outstanding sportsmanship and determination. Each girl gave her best, and whether defending, attacking, or working hard in the midfield, all players contributed to memorable games and demonstrated the true Pymble spirit.
Congratulations to every team for a wonderful beginning to the season. We can’t wait to see your skills grow and celebrate your achievements throughout the weeks ahead.
Go Pymble!

Have a Go Hockey – Kindergarten to Year 2
We’re delighted to announce the launch of our new sport offering in the Have a Go program kicking off Term 2 with Hockey. In our first session, we introduced students to the exciting game of hockey in a safe, supportive and fun environment.
This week was all about getting involved, building confidence, and having a go! Our little athletes tried out basic hockey skills such as holding a stick, dribbling the ball, and moving safely in the play area. The focus was on participation, teamwork, and above all enjoying themselves.
Our coaches were so impressed with all the smiles, determination, and enthusiastic “first tries” from every student.
We can’t wait to see you all back for Week 2.
