Alumni Relations Manager Update

As we settle into the quiet of winter break here at the College, I hope this finds you well, wherever you may be. There’s something lovely about this time of year on campus, with the grounds still and classrooms empty- it’s a chance for me to pause and reflect on the incredible community that we’re all so fortunate to belong.

It’s with that spirit of reflection that I’m delighted to share some exciting news with you this issue: the launch of our new Jacaranda Society.

For those of you who completed your schooling at Pymble more than sixty years ago, this Society has been created especially with you in mind. Named for the majestic jacaranda tree that stands on Gloucester Lawn, a tree all of us remember fondly, the Jacaranda Society is our way of honouring the enduring connection between you and the College.

I often think about how much the College has changed since some of our longest-standing Alumni walked these halls, and yet how much remains the same in spirit. The friendships formed, the values instilled, the sense of belonging: these things don’t fade with time. The Jacaranda Society exists to make sure that connection stays strong.

Membership offers a wonderful range of opportunities, including an annual gathering to complement your five-yearly reunion, bringing together Alumni from many year groups. You’ll also receive invitations to College events held under the Society, including our much-loved Commemoration Day, as well as social occasions created especially for members, such as an Annual Camellia Luncheon and an Easter Morning Tea. You’ll continue to receive regular news about life at Pymble, and you’ll have the chance to help celebrate and preserve the traditions of our College for generations to come.

The Jacaranda Society has been founded purely upon connection. There are no fees or financial obligations, simply our sincere wish to strengthen the ties between you and the College that shaped so much of who you are today.

We look forward to welcoming members officially at our upcoming Commemoration Day Service. In the meantime, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I would love to hear from you.
