Some of our Studies of Religion students recently

Some of our Studies of Religion students recently attended a special Iftar dinner organised by the Rev @billcrewsfoundation and the @unitingchurchau in Ashfield. Iftar is the fast-breaking evening meal Muslims partake in during Ramadan.

At the dinner, students were able to connect with Moderator of the UCA, Faaimata Hiliau and the CEO of Multicultural NSW, Joseph La Posta. The dinner gave students the opportunity to discuss the importance of multi-faith events in raising culturally literate citizens.

Today is Ride Safely to School Day and our Junior

Today is Ride Safely to School Day and our Junior School students were keen to take part biking or scootering their way to the College. 🚲

The slight drizzle didn't dampen their spirits, as our girls met Junior School teachers at Pymble Station to safely ride together from the station to our campus nearby.

A big thank you to all our families who supported our courageous cyclists and scooters. There were lots of big smiles and #pymblepride from our girls while they were on their journey!

Pedal Your Own Smoothie is a highlight of the Juni

Pedal Your Own Smoothie is a highlight of the Junior School calendar, where our girls have the opportunity to literally pedal their own smoothies by riding a stationary bike attached to a blender to create a delicious, healthy treat.

The event was organised by our Junior School Parents Group, and we are #pymbleproud of our parents and girls who came together to pedal not only smoothies, but also kindness by raising money to support a local community charity, @hkwshelter.

Our amazing STEM parents also problem-solved any mechanical issues to keep the smoothies flowing - well done!

For their History unit, Year 3 met with Pymble's A

For their History unit, Year 3 met with Pymble's Archivist, Kate Murray, to discover how the College has evolved since it opened in 1916.

The students were enthralled as they learnt just how different life at school was for past Pymble girls; from doing high jump in a formal uniform and using school bags that looked more like travel cases, to the shocking revelation that students didn't always have access to the internet. The girls also had the opportunity to see a desk and ink well from the early years of the College, which helped them envision what a Pymble classroom used to look like compared to their classrooms today.

Not only was it fascinating for our girls to discover how the College has evolved over time, but also realise that they too are an important part of the continuing history of the College. Our current students seemed quite thrilled to think that, one day, future Pymble girls may be learning about their time at the College.

➡️ Swipe right to see a Pymble classroom in 1942! 🍎

The Pymble private buses provide our students with

The Pymble private buses provide our students with a safe, easy and fun way to get to school each day. With five routes to choose from, the bus services help parents avoid the peak-hour commute when transporting their daughter to and from school, with girls able to start using this service from Kindergarten.

We took a ride on the Pymble bus to learn more about the experience and see the safety measures in place to ensure the girls get to and from school safe and sound.

With the support of our community, we can continue to invest in people, create paths for young women, and change the world in a positive and meaningful way.

Thank you to Event Partner Rachel Johnson at @first.national.real.estate for being part of this worthy cause by helping us to bring this event to life.

As a past Pymble girl, she was actively involved in school life, including being part of the Tildesley tennis team and participating in various co-curricular activities. Rachel’s commitment to Pymble is also reflected in her generous donation of the “Butterfly Space” and seating area outside the Chapel, under the Jacaranda tree of Pymble, dedicated in memory of her late mother, a proud Pymble girl.

Rachel is truly excited to be the Pymble Foundation Ball Event Partner and support this incredible event, which brings together the Pymble community, and we are incredibly grateful for her support which will make a lasting impact.

This year, an intrepid group of pioneers in Year 6

This year, an intrepid group of pioneers in Year 6 launched our first @greenpowertrust Formula Goblin racing team!

Based around Formula 1, the Greenpower Formula Goblin competition encourages students around the world to become involved in STEM by challenging them to design, build and race a green-powered, electric car. Our girls are the first team in mainland Australia to join the Greenpower racing community.

The team will head to the UK in June for three competitions and have been working hard to finalise their build. Saturday marked an exciting milestone for the girls, who drove their race car for the first time to test the car; recording and analysing performance data, fitting the drivers, learning safety start and stop procedures and brake testing. A problem with a slipping axle didn’t stop our girls as the pit crew took the car apart and problem-solved so the drivers could resume testing performance.

The marketing division of the team are working just as hard as they look for, and pitch to, potential sponsors. A big thank you to our first sponsors AptaGrow (@aptaclubanz) and @earthysouls_australia!

Our Year 8 students enjoyed bringing history to life during their incursion with Living History where they were introduced to two topics they are about to study, Ancient Egypt and Medieval Japan.

The interactive incursion provided a great opportunity to learn about how different people's lives were in those times. Students enjoyed an entertaining presentation before looking at a range of ancient and medieval artefacts, including clothing, weapons and coins.

Our Kindergarten girls had a fantastic adventure on their first excursion to @calmsley_hill City Farm.

The girls had the opportunity to get up close to a variety of native and farmyard animals. They met animals like koalas, kangaroos and wombats, and even participated in activities such as milking cows and whip cracking. It was wonderful to see the girls so engaged, trying new things and fully participating with excitement and joy. The day was filled with laughter, learning and unforgettable experiences.

Our Athletics team have been busy with not one, but two big competitions: the State Junior Athletics Championships and the the Sydney Track Classic.

Over four days of competition at the State Junior Athletics Championships, 16 Pymble athletes delivered exceptional performances despite the heat. The girls secured an incredible nine gold, four silver and four bronze medals! We are #pymbleproud of the resilience and determination showed by our athletes who also achieved numerous personal bests and several top eight performances.

Two Pymble students and five alumni competed at the prestigious Sydney Track Classic, an event that features Olympians, international athletes and Australia's best athletes who are all chasing world championship qualification and personal bests.

A huge congratulations to Sybella (Year 12) who competed in the para 100m, and to Rachel (Year 11) who took on the crucial role at short notice of pacemaker for Olympic semi-finalist Claudia Hollingsworth in the 800m and did an exceptional job. Our alumni also gave outstanding performances, with Olympian @kristie_edwards winning the 100m, Olivia Inkster placing 7th and setting a personal best in the same event, Olympian Mackenzie Little (@kenzielittle22) winning the javelin, Alice Dixon competing for NSW in the 4x100m relay and Gabriella Taylor competing in the B 100m race.

Congratulations to all of our athletes!

Yesterday, girls in Year 9 and 10 attended a prese

Yesterday, girls in Year 9 and 10 attended a presentation from Gemma Sisia, founder of The @schoolofstjude, a charity-funded school in Tanzania providing free primary and secondary education to bright students from poor backgrounds.

Gemma explained the story of how she built the school from the ground up in 2002, starting with only three students, a number which has since grown to 1,800. One hundred percent of St Jude’s students are on scholarships, relying on the kindness of donors from all around the world.

She was joined by two members of St Jude’s alumni, John and Winnie, who spoke eloquently about their time at St Jude’s and how they will be forever grateful for the gift they received of a high-quality education, something which the majority of poverty-stricken Tanzanian students do not get.

In July 16 students and three staff members from Pymble are flying to Tanzania to volunteer at St Jude’s, where they will have the opportunity to witness the incredible impact of education firsthand, connect with their students and contribute to the school community.
