News From the Pymble Alumni Team
Another busy year at Pymble has now come to an end. This week sees the final HSC results and ATARs announced for our newest Pymble Alumni – the class of 2023. Whether you are taking a gap year, studying, travelling or working, we hope this year brings lots of wonderful adventures out in the ‘real world’ and we wish you all the very best.
On Saturday 14 October, the Pymble Foundation hosted its inaugural Gala Ball at the Art Gallery of NSW. It was wonderful to see so many ex-students in attendance and we thank you for your generous support. Over $230,000 was raised on the night and through our silent auction and raffles. This is an incredible result and means that we are now able to welcome three incredible young women from Afghanistan to Pymble in Year 9 in 2024 as part of our Foundation Bursary Program. Thank you again.
And finally, I’d like to extend my personal thanks to Fiona, our outgoing Pymble ESU President, for her commitment and professionalism and generosity in volunteering her time to serve the College. We are very grateful for your leadership this year. A very warm welcome to Rowena Ditzell (1986) who has volunteered to lead the ESU in 2024 – thank you!

Calling all Ex-Pymble Students in Newcastle and the Hunter Region
We’ve had an offer from an ex-student to start up a Newcastle/Hunter region chapter of our Alumni. There are many of you from this beautiful region.
If you would like to join us, with a view to meeting up for coffee/lunch and chats (maybe even some charity projects?), please contact Jill Taylor (1973) at jilltaylor1212@gmail.com or if you are on Facebook, click the link, or search and request to join the private group called Pymble Ladies College Alumni – Newcastle/Hunter chapter.
We do try our best to keep across the news and success of ex-Pymble girls but if you have any stories or updates you would like to submit to this newsletter and share with your alumni, we welcome you to do so. If you have any questions or would like to contribute, please contact me at kcorcoran@pymblelc.nsw.edu.au or on +61 2 9855 7304.
