Not to be weird, or shockingly rural, but does anyone here to to Pymble Ladies College?
I just got up there last weekend for an extension english seminar, and I love it! I know, its weird to fall in love with a school but its what I've done. If only my parents were millionaires who would let me repeat year 12 there...
anyway, on the high achievers list Pymble gets tons of mentions so I just thought I'd give it a bit of shout-out, see if there's any Pymble people wanting to have a bit of a brag about their marks.

(I go to a public high school in the central west, so I was highly impressed by the very pretty grounds. No graffitti, chip packets floating on the breeze...

From numerous people they said they really didnt like PLC. PLC gain such a high rank in the HSC due to the high scholarship placements. These scholarhsip attract girls from selective school and hence a better HSC result.
And i admitt PLC has nice facilities.

I go there and I really like it; it's a really beautiful school with great facilities. No marks to bragg about, though.

Uh, I don't think there are that many people on scholarships though, maybe about eight, and about half of those were already going here when they got the scholarship. But there are definately those few every year who do outstandingly - but what else can you expect in such a big grade.

I agree with greeneggsandham--there used to be 5 scholarships for the class of 2004, 8 for my year (2005) and 10 for 2006 onwards. Half of them are either music scholars or were already here beforehand. But yeah, being the big grade it is, you're bound to get someone outstanding every year. I'd say the top 3 classes out of 10 are the ones that will pull through with the band 6's--below that, it's hard to say.

The grounds are most definitely beautiful. And the girls who went to Pymble in the junior school have excellent grounding--one of the internal scholarship holders in my year was saying how they were given assessments starting from Kindy, though of course they didn't know it at the time!

My sister goes there.
Certainly has a great campus. I havent heard too many complaints about anything there.
Last year they got 1 100UAI and 4 99.95UAIs. Also 6 First in states (All in languages if i remember correctly)

z600 · 2 Jun 2006, 3:26 PM

Sry if i offended anyone in anyway, i just said what i heard from numerous people.

gracie007 · 2 Jun 2006, 5:04 PM

A lot of my friends used to go there, the majority hated it, thats why they left.

There are a lot of 'pretty' private school grounds around the north shore, its not just a plc thing.

Yeah I know. Unfortunately I’ve never been to any, even though I’ve been to private and public school. As for scholarships…well that’s not very many in a year, only 10, when I went to private school (ASC) I was in the scholarship class, something like 25 people had (half) scholarships, mostly academic. But that school sucks. I was such a slacker there, got crap marks.

PLC is pretty infamous for their bitchyness...

the grass isn't always greener on the other side.

sure the school may look stunning, but there is definately a dark side to that school.

PS. the reason theres no chip packets is because they hire people to clean up the grounds after morning tea and lunch.

oooh i went to that lecture as well...my first reaction to that school was just *jawdrop* OMG...i thought i'd walked onto a movie set...i'd known my school was a bit of a hole before i saw plc but seriously, compared to that my school looks like real crap. i couldnt get over how pristinely groomed it is...they have a music school and what looked to me like a fully equipped theatre *jealous* lol...we had a bit of a laugh imagining the plc girls' reaction if they had to come to our school for any reason..."welcome to the jungle" etc...

Lol Yeah. I knew I couldn't be the only one who went there and just went 'OMG! my school is a shitheap!'
The lecture was pretty good too, lol.

Come to think of it, you are very right. PLC is the kind of school that you see in movies and go 'yeah right, that's not a school, looks like a church, or a uni.'
