Secondary School Enrolment Update

In February we welcomed 120 new Year 7 students to the College. This included 13 new boarders. It is always such a buzz to see them arrive as the girls are so excited with anticipation of a new start.

Our first two Year 9 groups headed to Vision Valley for their four-week Residential Program in March. Dr Hadwen joined Group 1 onone of their three-day expedition through Bouddi National Park on the Central Coast of NSW and enjoyed spending time with 14 Year 9 Pymble and Riverview students walking from Pretty Beach over to Kilcare and around to Macmasters and Copacabana. Sleeping in a tent by the sea was a special experience for Dr Hadwen, as well as the joy of chatting, singing and preparing dinner with such a dynamic fun group of young people.
