Alumni
Together, the College and the Ex-Students’ Union (ESU) promote and celebrate the lives and careers of Pymble Ladies’ College Alumni as role models for the unending chain of girls who follow.
The College
Wherever you go you will find Pymble girls from all walks of life locally, nationally and internationally.
With a dedicated engagement program including interstate and international reunions and termly campus tours, the College ensures that the ties between Alumni are continued beyond the College gates. Events like Commemoration Day, held on the last Sunday of July, continue to be an important day for coming together to celebrate the dedication of the College in 1919.
We greatly value the relationships we build with our Alumni and our aim is to nurture a lifelong connection to the College.
We have partnered with the ESU to launch a mentoring program, Pymconnect, to facilitate mentoring opportunities to build a sense of belonging, create a culture of shared learning and enhance personal and professional growth within our Pymble community. Pymconnect matches current Senior students or recent school leavers with Alumni and Pymble parent mentors.
We welcome all our Alumni back to the College at any time and encourage participation in our events and reunion program, and to stay in touch through the Pymble Lades’ College Alumni Facebook group and the Pymble Ladies’ College LinkedIn page.
For Alumni enquiries, please contact our Alumni Relations Manager, Katrina Corcoran at kcorcoran@pymblelc.nsw.edu.au.
Being Pymble Alumni provides opportunities to share skills and talents. Many Alumni return to Pymble as mentors, speakers or guests of the College.
The Careers Night, held in April, and the Chair of College Council Networking Event, held in May, are very popular events and are a chance to hear from other Alumni.
The Ex-Students’ Union (ESU)
The President of the ESU, Rowena Ditzell (1986) and the members of the ESU Committee are dedicated to encouraging Alumni to stay connected with the College and with each other. The ESU supports a number of initiatives including the Ex-Students’ Union Scholarship, Artist-in-Residence Grant, our mentoring program PymConnect, as well as contributing financially to alumni tutoring services for our Boarders.
Established as a separate body in 1929, the ESU in the current day is a not-for-profit incorporated association that aims to:
- Maintain the traditions and foster the welfare of the College
- Unite past students of the College with the current ones
- Promote a committed Alumni body that will work collaboratively with the College to support the wellbeing of members of the wider College community.
