Welcome to Pymble

Thank you for taking the time to consider Pymble Ladies’ College for your daughter.

We are often asked, what makes Pymble so special? That’s easy. It’s our girls.

Pymble girls have every opportunity to harness their unique inner strengths and develop the knowledge and skills they need to reach their full potential. They bring passion and purpose to everything they do. They are change-makers in the classroom, in their community and in the world. If our girls can dream it, they can do it at Pymble

This is an exciting time for you and your daughter to learn more about our College. The Strategic Direction for our College, Watch Us Change the World, has been developed around four learning pillars designed to build academic, emotional, digital and social intelligence. Underpinning these pillars is our new Mind-Body-Spirit Framework, which positively influences our girls in terms of their awareness, resilience, character, purpose, relationships and lifestyle choices.

Our stunning main campus in Sydney’s North Shore supports a culture of excellence, as well as an enormous breadth of co-curricular sport and activities that places Pymble in a league of its own. Our second campus, Vision Valley in Arcadia in Sydney’s north-west, plays an important role in the Pymble learning journey, enabling us to deliver transformative learning experiences through outdoor education, residential experiences and other curricular programs for our girls.

Our vision is for your daughter to graduate as an influential and compassionate young woman who is ready to embrace her future and make her mark on the world.

We warmly invite you to come and meet us and experience first-hand the culture of our College family. From our family to yours, we look forward to welcoming you to Pymble

Chair Of The Board Welcome

In my experience drawn from being a Pymble parent for eight years, a Pymble board member for the past nine years and a member of the Association of Independent Schools of NSW/ACT, Pymble Ladies’ College is one of Australia’s top performing schools.

Founded in 1916, the College has always encouraged girls and young women to embrace the best opportunities education has to offer, think for themselves and live by the College motto, All’ Ultimo Lavoro – strive for the highest.

That ethos lives on today. Pymble is an internationally acclaimed nonselective school that provides students with limitless opportunities, encouragement and support to pursue their passions, be extraordinary and make a difference in whatever they choose to do in life.

The College offers a world-class, well-rounded educational program which has been expertly designed to enable each girl to reach her full potential. Our mission is to create a personalised learning environment for each student so she develops a passion for learning and scholarship, a strong assurance of her own worth and the desire and values to contribute meaningfully to her local and global communities.

The greatest gift a parent can give their child is an enriching and formative educational experience. I have had the pleasure of watching my own daughter benefit from the ‘Pymble experience’ and it is with the utmost confidence that I encourage you to give your daughter the opportunity to explore everything that this great College has to offer.
