Thank you to our newly elected P&C Executive for volunteering their time and expertise at the meeting on 20 May 2026.

Congratulations to all students being recognised for their excellent attendance efforts!

Special thank you to our PHS P&C for sponsoring this event.

Engineering in action!

Today, our Year 11 Engineering Studies students conducted tensile testing to develop mathematical stress–strain profiles for a range of materials, including elastic bands.

By measuring how materials respond to applied forces, students gained hands-on experience with the same testing principles used by engineers and manufacturers to assess material properties and performance in real-world applications.

A fantastic opportunity to connect classroom learning with industry practice and engineering innovation.

Don't forget- Book Club is on tomorrow!

Where are they now?

Pittwater High School graduate Cohen, now studying Medicine, reflects on the skills that have helped shape his success

"Pittwater High School taught me to manage a heavy workload, think critically, and stay motivated - skills that now help me balance med school and life."

We are proud to see our alumni achieving their goals and making a difference in their chosen fields. Cohen’s journey is a reminder that the skills developed at school can open doors to exciting opportunities beyond the classroom.

Year 11 Advanced English have been immersed in Sylvia Plath’s poetry as part of their Critical Study of Literature unit. After closely reading and annotating her poems, students have come together to discuss, brainstorm, and share their key insights, building rich conceptual links across Plath’s work.

In recent lessons, they have been exploring the key universal and timeless themes present in Plath’s poetry and synthesising these ideas with carefully selected textual evidence through conceptual mind-maps and engaging in Harkness discussions. It’s been fantastic to see them sharing interpretations, comparing annotations, and collaborating to deepen their understanding of Plath's poetry.

Through these discussions, students are developing their personal voice, strengthening their critical thinking, and engaging thoughtfully with Plath’s enduring value. A real highlight has been watching them support one another in shaping more nuanced and insightful readings of the texts.

Week 8B is packed with opportunities, from music and dance rehearsals to careers activities and sporting events.
