Experiential Learning
The Experiential Learning department at Pymble delivers programs in partnership with each of the five sub-schools, the care continuum and the Co-curricular department.
The Co-curricular programs available to students include The Duke of Edinburgh International Award, Army Cadets and various adventure programs.
Each of these is designed to offer students challenge, achievement and growth by placing them outside their comfort zones and providing new and exciting experiences.

Adventure Programs
Open to students from Year 5 and above, the Experiential Learning portfolio provides opportunities in adventure sport programs such as Mountain Biking, Orienteering and Cross-Country Skiing and Biathlon.
