Want to study a Pymble Old Girl or previous staff member for this assignment?
One hundred and fifty ex-students and staff members of Pymble Ladies' College served in WWII and five tragically lost their lives. In 2017, our Duke of Edinburgh Award students in Year 10 researched and wrote biographies of our ex-students in service and transcribed and recorded audio of their letters home to Pymble’s former principal, Miss Dorothy Knox, who went to great lengths to keep in touch with Pymble girls serving in World War II. You can learn more about these courageous women on this website or by visiting the Heritage Centre to see the War Stories display.
