Welcome to Pymble

At Pymble, you will be welcomed into a culture of care, inclusion and commitment to educational excellence. We foster a collaborative and innovative working environment where everybody is supported and valued for who they are and their unique contribution to our College.
Pymble has been a pioneer in the education of girls and the empowerment of women for over a century. As we look to the future, there are even more reasons for you to Think Pymble.
Our Values
The College values of Care, Courage, Integrity, Respect and Responsibility were established over a century ago. Today, we continue to weave these values into the fabric of our daily life. Our goal is to always articulate these values clearly and continue to foster an environment where they are routinely practised by students, staff and parents alike.
CARE
I am kind to myself and others
COURAGE
I am open to new experiences to learn and grow
RESPECT
I value diversity, my worth and the worth of others
INTEGRITY
I do the right thing even when no one is watching
RESPONSIBILITY
I take ownership for my actions
Focusing on Respect in 2025
Pymble understands that values are not something that live on a page but must be brought to life every day through our actions and words. Each year, we focus on one of our values and 2025 is the Year of Respect – I value diversity, my worth and the worth of others. This focus extends to all members of our Pymble community.
Our phenomenal students
At Pymble, we educate, nurture and empower girls to become considered and compassionate young women with the mindset, character and confidence to create a better world for all. Watch us change the world, Pymble’s strategic direction, means something different to each student. However, it always begins with small and considered steps towards realising their potential whilst forging a positive impact on others. Whether it’s choosing kindness at play to competing on the world stage, our girls are inspired and supported to make the world a better place for all.
Pymble is the first independent Olympic Pathways School in Australia
We are proud of this endorsement by the Australian Olympic Committee of our world-class coaching programs, facilities and holistic support of our student athletes. Pymble offers this unique pathway for our students and staff to achieve success on a global stage.

Our beautiful outdoor education campus at Vision Valley
Vision Valley is Pymble’s bushland campus, located at Arcadia, which allows us to provide our girls with life-changing experiences that embrace social and emotional intelligence, connections to peers, rites of passage and environmental stewardship.
With all their backpacks on, we sat and looked at this amazing view…and we had a really profound conversation about the value of doing hard things in life and why.
