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 diversity of thought, skills in cultural connectivity and a deep understanding of the power of an inclusive and united community.
Opportunities and highlights
Learning with First Nations students and staff
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 cultural on-Country immersions, assisting with the Goodooga Indigenous Games in far north-west NSW 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.
Opportunities and highlights
Service that shapes the world
Service learning at Pymble provides structured local and international opportunities for your daughter to make a positive impact on others.
Our service program is grounded in evidence showing that young people who volunteer benefit from improved academic performance, social and emotional skills, self-esteem, wellbeing and mental health. We also provide opportunities for families and staff to stand should-to-shoulder with their daughters in service to people and communities in need.
Celebrating the diversity that unites us
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 community, 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.
Global learning opportunities
In addition to National Exchange in Year 8 and International Exchange in Year 10, your daughter will have a wide range of opportunities to extend her learning during non-term time with our domestic and international Trips and Tours program.
Some of our regular destinations include the USA Dance Tour, World Robotics competitions, Oxford UK Summer School Academic Tour, USA Science Tour, Fiji Service Tour, European Music Tour, Italian Language Tour, Tanzania Service Tour, Japan Language Tour and European History Tour, each designed to broaden her world view, independence and learning.
