Welcome to Pymble A message from our Principal and Chair of College Board Thank you for taking the time to consider Pymble Ladies’ College for your daughter. As parents, we know that choosing a school is one of the most significant decisions you will make on your daughter’s behalf. As leaders of this outstanding school, we believe Pymble is the best choice you could ever make. Pymble always has been and always will be a school for every girl. While we are proud of our long-standing history of excellence, we are an open-entry school with a strong focus on the whole child through academics, co-curricular sport and activities, and personal growth. Our world-class programs, buildings and facilities continue to evolve to allow our educators to deliver future-focused teaching and learning experiences that equip our students for life as global citizens in an ever-changing world. We are proud of the facilities on offer at both our Pymble campus and our Vision Valley campus, the home of outdoor education and our world-leading residential programs. Each Pymble girl is supported to make the most of her unique gifts and talents and to equally appreciate the successes and mistakes that all contribute to her development. This journey is guided by our Strategic Direction, Watch Us Change the World, which has been developed around four key learning pillars designed to build her Academic, Emotional, Digital and Social intelligence. Underpinning these pillars is our Mind-Body-Spirit Framework, which positively influences girls in terms of their awareness, resilience, character, purpose, relationships and lifestyle choices. Every year we share the joy of recognising a growing number of high achievers in terms of academic results and students who secure scholarship to universities both locally and globally. Equally importantly, we celebrate the quality of our graduates as compassionate and influential young women who embody our College values and possess the hearts, minds and skillsets to bring positive change to their local and global communities. As we always say to our girls: if you can dream it, you can do it with our support at Pymble. We warmly invite you to visit our campus and experience first-hand the culture of our College. From our family to yours, we look forward to welcoming you to Pymble soon. DR KATE HADWEN PRINCIPAL PhD, MEd, MNTCW, BTeach, MAICD

Her greatest joy is interacting with our girls: she is intentional in setting aside time each day to connect with students as a mentor, by dropping into classrooms, attending co-curricular events and competitions, and having Boarders over for dinner in her home on Sunday nights. Kate and her husband Matt are the proud parents of five adult children.

Watch Us Change the World Watch Us Change the World is our statement of strategic intent and exists to instil courage in our girls to create the future they want to see for themselves. At Pymble, we foster a world-class educational environment with the importance of global citizenship and a worldwide perspective central to our strategic intent. Our girls are compassionate and influential women who will go on to change the world – not just for themselves, but for the benefit of others.

“ The objective you seek may be closer at hand than you think!” ELIZABETH EVATT PYMBLE ALUMNI 1950 – CHIEF JUSTICE OF THE FAMILY COURT IN AUSTRALIA (RETIRED)

The Pymble Girl The Pymble Ladies’ College Mind-Body-Spirit Framework is a multidimensional, holistic approach to wellness and growth, encompassing academic, social, emotional and digital intelligence. The framework serves as an active process through which we equip our young women with the knowledge and skills to harness their inner strengths and make positive choices in life. It recognises there are many opportunities to support wellness and growth. Understanding one’s self and the strengths we bring to a challenge is a key part of our education and assists our girls as they develop into influential and compassionate women.

THE BENEFITS OF SINGLE-SEX EDUCATION The decision of where to educate your daughter is arguably one of the most important decisions you will make on her behalf. Research indicates that girls who attend all girls’ schools are the beneficiaries of a ‘competitive boost’. This research adds to a growing body of evidence that speaks to the benefits of a single-sex educational environment for girls when compared to girls who attend co-educational schools. These benefits include: • G irls’ schools create a culture of strong academic achievement, including better grades in numeracy, literacy, reading, languages and, ultimately, better tertiary entrance scores. • G irls in single-sex schools are better at STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics). They have more favourable attitudes towards STEM-related subjects, are more confident and are more likely to engage in higher level mathematics, chemistry and physics. • I n all-girls schools, girls are better able to develop a positive selfimage with less fear of ridicule. They are more likely to consider a wider variety of career choices and embrace competition. • S elf-esteem and wellbeing in an all-girls’ setting are enhanced. • G irls in schools such as Pymble are more likely to engage in a wider array of sporting activities, including sports traditionally considered masculine (such as rugby). • G irls in all-girls schools experience fewer instances of sexist language, social anxiety and bullying. • Girls in all-girls schools are more aspirational, their voices are heard more readily and they are more motivated.

Influential and Compassionate Women Watch Us Change the World introduces four directional pillars or themes for teaching and learning, along with the enablers we believe will combine with the themes, to empower Pymble girls to become influential and compassionate women who have the knowledge, skills and courage to make a meaningful contribution to the world. Our five core values affirm our commitment to the Christian heritage of Pymble Ladies’ College and our identity as a school of the Uniting Church in Australia. CARE

“In Middle School we are encouraged to take a chance and do our best.” SOPHIE YEAR 8

Pymble Ladies’ College Middle School

Middle School As she graduates to the Middle School – Years 7 and 8 – your daughter’s learning experiences will become even more challenging and inspiring. During these formative Middle School years, students’ abilities and interests are nurtured in a strong and caring community. Comprehensive academic, co-curricular and wellbeing programs support the intellectual, emotional, social and spiritual growth of every girl. Middle School students are encouraged to engage in intellectual pursuits, to express themselves creatively, to extend themselves physically and to develop their character and personal leadership in the many areas and social responsibility initiatives available. Staff in the Middle School work collaboratively to provide the ideal blend of structure and choice that allows young women to flourish, offering them a supportive environment where they feel challenged enough to grow, yet confident enough to try new approaches. The teachers encourage students to achieve their personal best and develop into compassionate and resilient young women capable of realising their full potential. Learning in the Middle School is all about fostering a curious mindset. Enjoying a wide range of subjects that span the arts, sciences and technology, our students explore new ideas in technologyrich specialist classrooms. In Year 7, they begin to exercise choice through their language selection of either French, German, Chinese or Japanese and are encouraged to develop effective study and homework habits. In Year 8, students further their understanding of their strengths and interests by choosing electives, such as introduction to philosophy, financial literacy or agriculture, to their study of NESA-mandatory subjects.

Upper School Progressing into Upper School - Years 9 and 10 - your daughter is now recognisable as a young woman who will soon take on the world. In Upper School, our girls are guided to develop into young women of compassion and determination who take responsibility for their own learning and the welfare of others. They are given the opportunity to expand their horizons, broaden their perspective and achieve their best in both academic and co-curricular areas of education. Beyond the direct curriculum experiences, learning activities in the Upper School have been designed to promote communication, problem-solving, creativity and collaboration. Pymble’s research-driven learning culture means Upper School girls benefit from effective and engaging personal development experiences that focus on the College’s core values. External speakers are regularly included in the Upper School programs. Leaders in the field and experiential opportunities connect the girls to key issues influencing society, locally and internationally. In Year 9, students participate in our mandatory residential program at Vision Valley living away from home for four weeks with their peers. Learning is different at Vision Valley; every aspect of the Residential Program, from lessons to physical challenges and downtime, builds real-world learning and problem solving into the context of living in the natural environment. Our goal for each student attending the program is to grow, flourish and leave with an increased understanding of themselves, strong connections to others and an affinity with the natural environment. Learning in the Upper School is designed to assist students to develop a deeper understanding of their skills and the subjects that interest them. In addition to mandatory NESA subjects, students are offered a broad range of electives, encouraging them to consider possible pathways to senior study and university. Data Science, Digital Technologies, Big History, Elective Music and Physical Activity and Sports Study are just some of the electives available to cater for our students’ differing strengths and interests. The Vision Valley experience in Year 9, combines outdoor education with academic study, giving students a unique opportunity to solve problems in authentic and reallife situations. 16

Being of service to others There are some traditions that truly define the essence of our community and Jacaranda Day is one of them. First held in 1983, the idea stemmed from one of our Science teachers at the time, Mrs Raj Ram, who linked the beauty of the tree in full bloom in spring with the beauty of humanity and selflessness. Ever since, we have gathered each year on a nominated day in November to reaffirm and celebrate Pymble’s commitment to being of service to others, and to announce our whole-school charity for the coming year. In 2024, our nominated charity is the Barbara May Foundation. In addition to supporting our nominated College charity through various community events, over the course of the year students from Kindergarten to Year 12 are guided by our service learning continuum. This supports students in each year group to engage in age-appropriate service activities involving a range of charities and organisations, and to undertake post-participation reflections to consolidate and celebrate their growing Social Intelligence. Opportunities range from visiting elderly residents in local aged care facilities to an annual tour to Tanzania to work with local schools and communities.

service to others. Recent student-led initiatives include cookbooks to raise funds for designated College charities, Spuds for Floods to support communities in rural NSW, and an annual festival to extend a hand of friendship to newly arrived refugees from Afghanistan. In 2024, the College is proud to welcome three new students, refugees from Afghanistan, who are funded by our Pymble Foundation to guide philanthropy in our wider community. Pymble students, staff and families in our community also look forward to volunteering and contributing to our annual Sony Camp for children with special needs.

Students are also supported by the College to pursue their individual passion projects to be of

In Years 4 and 5, girls experience a number of team building and unstructured play opportunities at Vision Valley, in addition to a two-night adventure with a focus on connections to peers, staff and nature, pushing comfort zones and developing expedition skills.

Year 8 girls head to Colo Valley for a five-day expedition at the incredible Camp Somerset where they start to develop the skills required for the residential program expeditions in Year 9. In Year 9, girls take part in a four-week Residential Program at Vision Valley, where they will engage in journey expeditions, interdisciplinary learning and adventure-based learning. Girls will have the

opportunity to create a deeper connection to self, others and the natural world. Our adventurers are required to work together to navigate shared challenges and real-world experiences in a tech-free learning environment. Year 10 girls will have the option of attending one of four amazing programs. The options include a five-day multi-activity adventure on the South Coast, the epic nine-day Namadji Hike in the Victorian High Plains, a five-day canyoning and climbing trip to the Blue Mountains and a nine-day whitewater rafting expedition on the mighty Snowy River.

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 mental health.

leadership and teamwork at Vision Valley. Pymble students participate in the Year 9 Residential Program at Vision Valley, which is a core component of a Pymble girls’ education. Over four weeks, students live and learn away from home with their peers in a unique technology-free environment. This gives them time and space to connect to self, others and the natural environment. The curriculum embraces Vision Valley’s physical location and reflects themes from the main campus including sustainability, First Nations learning and respectful relationships. Every aspect of the Residential Program builds real-world learning and problem-solving in to the context of living in the natural environment.
