Social Intelligence
Your daughter will enjoy collaborative learning environments where different perspectives are encouraged and valued.
Pymble’s co-curricular, sport, teamwork and leadership programs offer your daughter meaningful opportunities to learn alongside people from all backgrounds. Our First Nations and Refugee scholars programs help all students develop an appreciation for diversity of thought, skills in cultural connectivity and a deep understanding of the power of an inclusive and united community.
I value diversity, my worth and the worth of others.
Opportunities and highlights
Service that shapes the world
Service is woven into everyday learning at Pymble, based on research showing that students who volunteer enjoy increased wellbeing, self-esteem and academic success.
In the Junior School, your daughter can build robotics alongside students at St Lucy’s, sing with residents at local aged-care homes, or care for the planet through our partnership with the Jane Goodall Foundation. Along the way, she will discover the difference she can make in our world and the joy that comes from being of service to others.
Opportunities and highlights
Learning with our First Nations friends
Alongside her classmates, your daughter will have many opportunities to be part of initiatives bringing Pymble into partnership with First Nations schools and students in regional Australia. These include virtual ‘lunch clubs’, cultural on-Country immersions and reciprocal visits with students at Milingimbi School in the Northern Territory.
Our Reconciliation Action Plan documents the College’s 20-year journey to date and ongoing commitment to learning and growing together with First Nations students, families and communities.
Autumn Family Festival
Diversity is our path to unity
Our Pymble family is a big, beautiful blend of cultures, traditions, beliefs, backgrounds and languages. Sharing stories about these sacred and meaningful parts of our lives is how we connect as a community and show respect for the things that make us different.
As a College, we celebrate a wide range of cultural and religious occasions throughout the year, culminating in our Autumn Family Festival of student performances and cultural experiences from around the world. At the core of our Social Intelligence learning is the belief that diversity is the path to unity.
