Support for our Alumni

PymConnect is our online mentoring platform, designed to link our Pymble alumni, parents and carers to facilitate mentoring opportunities that help create a culture of shared learning, and enhance personal and professional growth.  

Since the launch of PymConnect last year we have received an enthusiastic response from our community. We currently have 177 mentors and 159 mentees making connections and building a sense of belonging.

The past 18 months have been extraordinary with lockdowns and restrictions impacting the lives of everyone – including our current Year 12 students. As they prepare to complete their HSC studies and embark on their next life journey, this is a time where connections and support are important. In preparation for our newest graduates joining PymConnect, we would like to invite you to participate in this program as a mentor.  

A special thanks to those of you who have signed up to join the program following our last invitation. 

To express your interest or to ask us a question, please feel free to reach out to us at pymconnect@pymblelc.nsw.edu.au or phone +61 2 9855 7799.

Benestar is a confidential wellbeing support service, thanks to the generosity of our Ex-Students’ Union (ESU). 

You will always be a Pymble girl and we want you to know that the Pymble family continues to care about your wellbeing, even after you leave the College. This program gives you easy access to wellbeing support when times are tough or whenever you feel like you need a helping hand. 

Our Ex-Students’ Assistance Program (EAP) is provided by Benestar under the MyCoach personal and confidential coaching program. MyCoach offers a team of professional coaches trained to assist you with everything from mental health to relationships to exercise and sleep, in face-to-face sessions or over the phone. 

Ex-students who access the service will be offered up to three funded one-hour coaching sessions. To access the service, you can call the numbers below and inform them you are a Pymble ex-student:  

Australia: 1300 360 364 

New Zealand: 0800 360 364 

International: +61 2 8295 2292 

Benestar also has a wide range of tools, blog posts, podcasts and learning modules available on the BeneHub at www.benestar.com or via the Benestar app. To register for access to the information, simply visit www.benestar.com and go to the BeneHub Login and enter the ID: PLCA and the Token: PLCA01. 

All sessions are confidential and neither the College nor the ESU Committee will be provided with the names of ex-students accessing the service.   

We know that many of you will already have good existing relationships with your local GP. In the event that you need mental health support, you may prefer to talk to your GP about a plan which enables you to access Medicare funding for six to ten counselling sessions with a Medicare-approved mental health professional. Please know that the EAP offers an alternative path for support, however, should not replace the clinical care provided by your GP and other health professionals.
