Pymble Ladies' College

Jersey Day holds a special place in the heart of our Boarding community 💙

Each year, we come together to honour the memory of three beloved Boarders, Alanda Clark, Jane Gay and Prudence Papworth, who tragically lost their lives in 1993 while travelling home for the June long weekend.

More than a day of remembrance, Jersey Day is a celebration of the friendships, support and lifelong connections that make Boarding such a special part of the Pymble experience. It is a reminder to cherish one another and the strong sense of community that continues to unite generations of Boarders ✨

This week, Pymble Alumni gathered at Ivy Sunroom for our 2026 Alumni Networking Event, an evening dedicated to connection, conversation and growth.
 
Centred around this year’s theme, Driving Growth, the event brought together graduates across generations and industries to share experiences, exchange ideas and strengthen the power of the Pymble network.
 
A highlight of the evening was our incomparable MC Felicity McVay (1995) and expert panellist Danielle Scott (2007), Jasmine Logaraj (2010), and Danielle Kelly (1987),who all shared honest insights on navigating career opportunities, challenges and change. Their stories sparked meaningful conversations that continued well beyond the panel discussion.
 
Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to such a vibrant and engaging evening. It was wonderful to see Pymble Alumni reconnecting, building new relationships and supporting one another through the strength of our community.
 
We look forward to welcoming you to future Alumni events.
 

Heroes, villains and plenty of laughs! 🦸‍♀️🦹‍♂️
 
The sold out PPA Trivia Night was an unforgettable evening of trivia, prizes, dancing and fun! Everyone embraced the theme of Heroes and Villains with some incredible costumes.
 
Thanks to the generosity of our community, the raffle and auctions raised more than $30,000 for the PPA. Thank you to everyone who attended, donated and helped make the night such a memorable success💙
 

During National Reconciliation Week, our Pymble community came together to reflect, learn and take action under this year’s theme, “All In.” 💙
 
From our First Nations Round of Sport and Welcome Ceremony to the launch of the College’s Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) and curriculum activities across Years 7–12, students were encouraged to deepen their understanding of reconciliation and consider the role they can play in creating meaningful change.
 
A highlight of the week was our Reconciliation Week Assembly, where alumni Freya Finocchiaro (2012) shared how a cultural immersion experience during her time at Pymble shaped her perspective and inspired her commitment to cultural literacy and advocacy. Her message challenged us all to actively engage in the ongoing work of reconciliation through understanding, respect and inclusion.
 
Thank you to everyone who contributed their stories and reflections throughout this important week.
 

Books, football and a whole lot of fun! 📚⚽
 
Last week, our Kindergarten to Year 3 students joined thousands of children across Australia for National Simultaneous Storytime, sharing this year’s book, Luna Roo, the Kangaroo Footballer.
 
Making the experience even more special, Tottenham Hotspur International Development Coach, Tegan Burling, brought the story to life before taking students onto the field at lunchtime for football drills and skills sessions.
 
A wonderful celebration of literacy, sport and the power of storytelling to inspire young minds 💙
 

Congratulations to Alumni, Grace Whyte (2023) on her selection in the 2026–27 Australian Diamonds Squad.
 
Since graduating from Pymble, Grace has continued to make her mark on the national stage, progressing through the NSW Swifts pathway and establishing herself as an exciting young talent in Australian netball. Her hard work, determination and outstanding performances have earned her this well-deserved opportunity to represent Australia.
 
We are incredibly proud of all you have achieved, Grace, and look forward to following the next chapter of your journey.
 

Talent is only part of the story. Hard work is what shapes the outcome.
 
A huge congratulations to Willa on being named Sydney FC A-League Women Player of the Year! Such an incredible recognition of her commitment, consistency and impact throughout the season 💙⚽️
 
Willa continues to redefine what is possible, having already become the youngest player ever to feature in the A-Leagues (Men or Women) — at just 14 years and 312 days old.
 
This achievement reflects the countless hours of training, the resilience to keep improving, and the dedication required to perform at the highest level week after week. Willa’s journey is a testament to what can be achieved through perseverance, passion and a willingness to embrace every challenge.
 
Well done Willa! We are so proud of all that you have accomplished and cannot wait to see what comes next.
 

The big reveal! The Pymble community recently came together to celebrate the official opening of our new teaching and learning spaces.

The purpose-built Hunter and Vicars Centre provides exceptional facilities including new Year Five and Six classrooms, a STEM Lab, Dance Centre, Health and Wellbeing Centre, Out of School Hours Care and a beautiful new Early Years School for boys and girls aged 3 months to 5 years.

The focus is on providing a breadth of opportunities for our girls to explore, make and create! Each space has been designed with great care and in consultation with girls and teachers, to draw on their ideas and experiences in shaping this amazing learning precinct.

Partnering with a team of specialist architects and builders, we have brought to life, world-class facilities to meet the needs and aspirations of our current students, and those of Pymble girls in the future.

Our community shared in a joyous evening, including a moving First Nations smoking ceremony, heartfelt (and humorous) speeches, and after the formalities our guests were able to explore and enjoy student-led demonstrations and displays.

Why is this important? Because the places where our young women are educated, shape who they become in the future.
