A sisterhood for life
When your daughter becomes a Boarder at Pymble Ladies’ College, she joins a proud and enduring tradition that stretches back to 1916 when we welcomed our first 20 Boarders to reside in Marden and Lang Houses. Today, we offer 150 places in four beautifully renovated Boarding Houses, each one a warm, welcoming home of sisterhood, care and guidance, intentionally designed to support her growth from adolescence into young adulthood.
About Boarding at Pymble
Since
1916
From the day we welcomed our first students on 8 February 1916, Pymble Ladies' College has steadily grown to become a leading school for girls in Australia.
110
Years
Uniting us across the decades are the fundamentals of a Pymble education, where girls are placed firmly at the centre of their learning, supported by a community that genuinely cares about their wellbeing and outcomes.
Capacity for
150
Our Boarders come from all over Australia and around the world to create a diverse, inclusive and close-knit boarding community, where every student is known, supported and encouraged to be her best self.
4
Boarding Houses
Three lovingly restored heritage Houses and a newly renovated House, just for Year 7, create a cosy precinct of four 'homes away from home' for our Boarders in Years 7 to 12.
A world of opportunities
As a Pymble Boarder, your daughter will build deep and lasting friendships with Boarders and Day School girls from across Australia and around the world. We actively nurture connections between our Boarders and Day students, because a strong community is one where every girl belongs.
With access to exceptional learning opportunities, state-of-the-art facilities, extensive co-curricular options, spacious grounds and caring staff, your daughter will be inspired to develop a broad perspective of life, grow in independence and step into the world as a confident and capable young woman.
"Being a Pymble Boarder means you have an extended family that will always be there for you when you need them, and even when you don’t."

Where care and connection come first
Boarding at Pymble is a rich, full experience — one where your daughter is known, supported and surrounded by a community that genuinely cares about her wellbeing. Here’s what makes our Boarding School so special.
Personalised support
Each Boarder is known and valued for who she is and what she brings to our Boarding family. Our staff will work closely with your daughter to ensure she feels seen, heard and genuinely supported to find her happy place here at Pymble.
Buddies and mentorship
Your daughter will be welcomed by a House Buddy to help her settle into Boarding life and routines at Pymble. Many of our new Boarders go on to become mentors themselves, a tradition of giving back that sits at the very heart of our caring Boarding culture.
Family partnerships
We deeply value our relationship with our Boarding families. As a parent of a Boarder, you are automatically welcomed into Pymble’s Boarding Parent Group, a connected community of families who support one another throughout the year and come together regularly for social events with their daughters.
Life skills
Alongside academic and co-curricular learning, our Boarding programs teach essential life skills to build the resilience, responsibility and self reliance that will help your daughter to thrive during her time as a Boarder and in her life beyond Pymble.
