Secondary School Enrolment Update

We are enjoying the excitement of the Olympic Games in Paris and especially cheering on our Pymble Olympians, alumni Mackenzie Little (2014), Kristie Edwards (2017) and Edwina Topps-Alexander (1991) as well as our current staff members Kurtis Mathews and Lauren Jackson. It is wonderful to celebrate their strength, dedication, courage and prowess.

The beauty of attending school at Pymble is that there is a place for girls of all personalities, different interests and styles of learning to shine. Whether it’s performing on stage or behind it, taking part or competing in robotics or our army cadet corps, the opportunities are endless and the support, teaching and mentoring are world class.

If you follow us on our social media pages you will find strength, dedication, courage and prowess shown by our Year 9 students who spent four weeks at our residential program at Vision Valley learning in the natural environment, exploring their limits, developing new friendships and their own growth. Our Year 10 students have been courageously stretching their wings all over the world in our international exchange program learning about different cultures, languages and people. You would have seen Pymble students of all ages performing in plays, dance eisteddfods, musicals, orchestras, bands and choirs. If you can dream it, you can do it at Pymble!

Physical and mental wellbeing is a priority at the College. In Term 2, our Secondary School girls took part in Pymble’s Push-Up Challenge campaign getting stronger and fitter while raising much needed funds for Lifeline. Both staff and students also have been championing the benefits of sleep and movement in living and learning well with targets set and promising results achieved.

Like many companies and communities, we celebrated NAIDOC week here at Pymble a little later than the official week once the girls returned to Term 3. It means a great deal to us to celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We are privileged to be able to offer a supported education to 24 First Nations students at Pymble this year. These students come to us from the Northern Territory, Northern Queensland, Central Australia as well as country NSW and enrich our community immeasurably.

To stay connected to the College, I encourage you to follow our Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and LinkedIn  pages.

Future Pymble students – in particular Year 7 2026 and 2027

I’m sorry that for many families your daughter’s applications have been placed on the waitlist. In particular for Boarding despite the introduction of our Year 7 Boarding House. Our ex-students and current families with siblings do have a priority on the waitlist however, places need to be available in order for us to progress. I appreciate your patience.

For our 2026 Year 7 student families who have a provisional place, your daughter’s enrolment interview will be scheduled this term and her place will be confirmed by the end of the term.

For our 2027 Year 7 student families we will be inviting you back to the College early next year before confirming your daughter’s place.
