Junior School

We offer an exceptionally well-resourced learning environment to inspire wonder, collaboration, creativity and build a healthy connection to nature. Your daughter will enjoy her journey of discovery and learning in our purpose-built precinct that provides creative, engaging and nurturing learning spaces designed to capture each girl’s interests and ignite her love of learning. With a commitment to knowing each student as a unique person, we encourage each girl to value herself and others as she responds positively to being challenged in her learning.

Academic rigour spans all subject areas where our girls build strong foundation skills in Mathematics and English and have opportunities to extend their understanding through enrichment activities, with support available for girls requiring additional assistance. Specialist teachers plan and implement programs in Physical Education, Creative Arts, Visual Arts (for Years 3 to 6) and Languages. Learning is through investigation and enhances the development of critical and creative thinking skills, collaboration and problem solving. We ask our girls to pose questions and find solutions and connections to the real world. Girls benefit from extensive leadership opportunities throughout our Junior School to build an authentic sense of voice and advocacy in their world. We offer a closely linked wellbeing and academic program as we firmly believe a happy child is a child ready to learn. Alongside our College values, there is a positive focus in our Junior School on the power of kindness and being of service to others. Pymble was proud to launch the inaugural Children’s Kindness Convention in June 2022, connecting twenty schools across Sydney and giving them the opportunity to ideate solutions to global issues through the lenses of kindness to others, the environment and self. Through kindness, our students not only believe but are gifted the sense of hope they need to know they can change the world.

Each girl is provided with an iPad as we focus on developing her digital skills, a sense of digital citizenship and her STEM capabilities led by our Head of STEM K-6. The College has created flexible and innovative learning environments for girls in Years 5 and 6 that support them to develop knowledge and skills, independence, collaboration and choice. Our outstanding range of co-curricular activities provides further opportunities for our girls to explore their passions and potential and to create magical memories with their peers.
