One hundred and fifty ex-students and staff members 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 are warmly invited to learn more about these courageous women on this website or by visiting our Heritage Centre to see our new War Stories display.
