The Pymble Ladies’ College Mind-Body-Spirit Framework is a multidimensional, holistic approach to wellness and growth, encompassing academic, social, emotional and digital intelligence.

The framework serves as an active process through which we equip our young women with the knowledge and skills to harness their inner strengths and make positive choices in life.

It recognises there are many opportunities to support wellness and growth. Understanding one’s self and the strengths we bring to a challenge is a key part of our education and assists our girls development into influential and compassionate women.
