The Extended Learning portfolio provides students with opportunities to increase their learning in co-curricular classes and clubs after school. The programs provide students with a wide variety of options from curriculum-related areas such as Art, STEM, TAS and Health, as well as special interest fields. In addition to classes, Extended Learning offers students the chance to join several clubs at Pymble where they can collectively discuss ideas, topics and subject matters in a safe and stimulating environment.
Art
We have a variety of art classes including oil painting, ceramics, drawing and print artmaking. Our co-curricular art tutors are practitioners with experience teaching students at all levels, from beginners through to those desiring to extend their skills, understanding and love of art.
Stem
Students from Year 1 through to Year 12 can select to learn coding, from beginner through to advanced level, or they can join our Robotics team to build and compete using VEX, FTC and FRC robots. Our girls learn skills such as driving, coding and building in a great team environment and have opportunities to compete in local, national and international competitions. In 2022, Pymble competed on the world stage in the FIRST Robotics and VEX World competitions in Texas, USA.
TAS (TECHNOLOGICAL AND APPLIED STUDIES)
We offer students opportunities in both textiles and food classes such as Smart Cookies and Kitchen Whiz.
Health
Classes include yoga to reduce anxiety, cope with stress and promote resilience.
Special Interest
We offer a number of other types of programs including Natural Skincare and Wellbeing where students make natural health and skincare products and Chess programs where students can compete in various competition or play for fun! The Cattle and Farm Club provides opportunities for students to participate in agricultural shows and parade the Pymble cattle.
