A vision for our girls’ future
Every day, Pymble girls make the world a better place. They transform our lives through their acts of care and kindness, their gifts and talents, and their curiosity and hunger for knowledge to build a better tomorrow.
In 2026, their world of learning will be transformed, with more opportunities to dream big, follow their passions, and harness their extraordinary education to become compassionate and influential changemakers.
Our first significant addition to the main Pymble campus in decades, Grey House Precinct is a state-of-the-art, purpose-built educational centre designed to benefit our girls, staff and community today, tomorrow and for many decades to come. As our students eagerly await moving into their new spaces next year, we invite you to consider the rare opportunity to establish your family’s name in this next chapter of College history.
Big or small, your donation to the Grey House Precinct through our Pymble Foundation will be gratefully received as a gift towards the future of learning at Pymble, and to our girls.
Let’s change their world, together.
