Outdoor Education

Outdoor education is an important part of the Pymble learning experience. Girls have opportunities for experiential learning, understanding and building knowledge through learning by doing, and through exposure to natural environments.

As girls move into Secondary School the duration and diversity of outdoor programs extends and will include Action Learning Initiatives, Exploration and Expedition, Urban Challenges, Outdoor Leadership and Retreats.

The Pymble Outdoor Education programs are carefully designed to support girls in the following ways:

COURAGE

Supporting girls to step outside their comfort zones and build character to weather the storms of life

WELLBEING

Build connections with nature, peers and teachers and an opportunity to disconnect with technology and connect deeper with their sense of self.

LEADERSHIP

Providing girls with a diverse range of opportunities for leadership.

MINDFULNESS

Guiding girls to be present in their experience, having genuine downtime and being grateful for the moment and opportunities they receive.

PHYSICAL FITNESS

The importance of physical fitness to support overall wellbeing and alleviate mental health issues.

Extension Opportunities in the Pymble Outdoor Education program include The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award and the Australian Army Cadets.
