Boarding
A safe and nurturing environment for your daughter
Pymble aims to create a safe, caring and nurturing environment for its boarders - comfortable and relaxed yet stimulating surroundings where girls can grow and learn. With the College set on 20 hectares of beautiful park-like grounds, many of our country boarders refer to it as ‘country in the city'.
A team of professional and dedicated boarding staff supports the College's commitment to providing boarders with opportunities for personal growth, assisting girls as they move from dependence to independence on their educational journey.
The College's three boarding houses - Goodlet, Marden and Lang - are situated within the school grounds and accommodate up to 115 boarders, with boarding available from Year 7.
A structure designed to facilitate the unique needs of girls at different year levels has been implemented. Boarders in Years 7, 8 and 9, along with selected Year 11 boarders who fulfill the roles of mentors and ‘Big Sisters', reside in Goodlet House. Those in Years 10 and 11 are in Marden House and Year 12 girls are in Lang House where they are provided the resources and support required by students in their final year of secondary schooling. House Supervisors lead the houses at the operational level and are supported by Assistant Supervisors and other support staff.
As Pymble may be your daughter's home away from home for a number of years, the College's goal is to assist her adjustment to boarding life. In a caring and home-like setting, staff support each individual student, whether new to boarding or a returning boarder, to settle in and feel comfortable as quickly as possible. A New Boarder and Family Orientation Weekend is conducted to assist new boarders and their families acclimatise to life at Pymble, and the City Family Boarding Program also assists new boarders settle in to life at the College.
Boarders have access to comprehensive learning support services, enabling them to develop and maintain a consistent and productive daily routine - essential for academic growth - while various organised outings and events held throughout the year ensure girls sustain a healthy and balanced lifestyle.
Boarding at Pymble Ladies' College fosters the development of leadership capacity in all students and facilitates each girl's growth towards becoming a capable, caring, confident, independent young woman with a strong sense of social responsibility.
