Reunions and Events – Reunion Recap

Class of 2001 – 25 Year Reunion  

On 28 March, the Class of 2001 returned to the grounds of Pymble.  

Within minutes, the years fell away. What struck us most was how little effort it took. Pymble has its own kind of bond, and the laughter that comes is unlike anything else. 

The school tour was a highlight, seeing the grounds through adult eyes brought a mix of pride and nostalgia. We were always told how fortunate we were to attend Pymble. It’s only with hindsight that you truly grasp it, not just for the grounds and facilities, but for the friendships formed along the way.

London Reunion

On a lovely warm day last Sunday, with views overlooking St Paul’s, London, 16 “old girls” met for lunch. The only thing in common was that we had all been educated at Pymble Ladies’ College. Leaving years ranged from 1973 to 2025, but that certainly did not stop the conversation flowing. 

Kirsten Dunlop (1987), visiting from where she lives in The Netherlands, suggested introducing ourselves by describing a link between where we are now and school. The overarching theme was feeling empowered by Pymble to achieve whatever we wanted to achieve regardless of boundaries, as well as a sense of confidence. New friendships and connections were forged and the lunch could definitely be deemed a success with many thanks to Katrina Corcoran, Alumni Relations Manager, for organising it. 

Quote from Gai (1973) who attended: “What an impressive collection of smart, gracious, thoughtful and professional young women, working in a wide variety of fields, finishing off studies or just starting out on the next phase of their life after Pymble. Times have changed a great deal since 1973 but the values of courtesy, grace and refinement were evident in every one of the young women I met today.”
