Alumni news

It was an incredible week for our Pymble Alumni at the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo! We are so Pymble Proud of these two inspirational athletes for their outstanding achievements.

A huge congratulations to Dr Mackenzie Little (2014) on winning her second World Championship medal, a brilliant bronze in the javelin! From Pymble to the world stage, Mackenzie’s journey is nothing short of inspiring. Balancing medicine and elite sport, she continues to motivate the next generation of young women to chase their dreams.

We also celebrate Kristie Edwards (2017) on competing in two events: the 4x100m relay and her individual debut on the world stage in the 200m. This dream was realised through years of hard work, determination, and resilience—what an achievement! We are so proud of you, Kristie, and can’t wait to have you back coaching within our Junior School program in Term 4.

Congratulations to both of these remarkable athletes!

WOMEN IN STEM | We’re Still Buzzing from Our Aviation & Space Expo!

What a blast! A few weeks ago, our students had unique opportunities to explore the worlds of aviation and space with industry professionals and immersive experiences.

Our expo was packed with incredible highlights, including a captivating planetarium experience, an inspiring panel presentation with women in aviation including our very own Pymble Alumni – Qantas CEO Vanessa Hudson (Gower, 1987) – and hands-on drone flying sessions with a demonstration by Surf Life Saving volunteers. Plus, our senior students experienced an incredible tour of the Sydney Airport air traffic control tower.

This wonderful program was designed to open minds and inspire future careers in aviation and space. It can only be described as a soaring success!

They finished in an impressive time of 43.46 seconds, a truly outstanding achievement. Kristie also showcased her individual talent, placing 5th in the final of the 200 metres.

Beyond their athletic prowess, both Kristie and Olivia now coach in the Pymble Junior School Track and Field program. Their dedication, expertise and passion for the sport make them outstanding role models, continually inspiring the next generation of Pymble athletes.

Congratulations, Kristie and Olivia – what an amazing feat!
