Eisteddfod Dance
Congratulations to our Eisteddfod Dance Team who represented the College with pride at Sydney Eisteddfod on the weekend. The maturity, passion and skill of the team was highly evident as the Secondary Groups performed at the Concourse in Chatswood on Saturday and Junior Groups performed at the Opera House on Sunday. After a 3-year break from Sydney Eisteddfod, we were happy to be back participating in what is the largest and most exciting Dance Eisteddfod of the year.
The competition was tough with 20 to 40 schools in each section and, although our teams performed their best with their highly artistic and thematic choreography, the Adjudicators’ preference for some placings went to some of the other great schools who also came to the arena with their strong groups. Nonetheless, our Pymble Groups had the audience in awe and mesmerised by their performances. It was also special to be able to have the Secondary Groups watch each other!
A huge mention to our Secondary Team who faced many absences due to illness / Covid-19 and many students had to learn new sections of routines in a very short time frame. Their adaptability and grace under pressure, yet again, is to be commended. A huge thank you to their class teachers who continue to inspire the girls and bounce back from the many obstacles that they have faced this year with the ‘unique’ pattern of attendance which they have experienced.

You’re Invited: HSC Dance Showcase
We warmly invite you and your daughters to attend the 2022 HSC Dance Showcase where Pymble’s best Year 10, Year 11 and Year 12 Elective Dancers will put on a performance you’re sure not to forget anytime soon.
Date: Saturday 20 August

It’s been 15 years since Dance as an academic subject was first introduced at the College. Since then, we have seen a wealth of talented, passionate and engaged students undertake the journey of studying Dance as an art form.
During the last 15 years, Pymble Dancers have received numerous HSC Dance Callback nominations, several state rankings and perfect scores of 100/100.
However, what our students leave the subject with is far more important than impressive marks. HSC Dance is a robust, challenging and exciting curriculum that embeds skills that are learnt through dance that transcend past the dance studio.
This event is not to be missed, so come along, support our girls and be amazed at the five-star performances on offer from our fantastic HSC Dancers.
