From the Deputy Principal
Feeling peckish?
It is with great excitement that we announce the official opening date for our new food outlet for students, staff and families, located opposite Mollie Dive Fields and the Centenary Car Park.
Archie’s Café opens for business on Tuesday 25 October (Week 3).
Years 5 and 6 students will have exclusive access to Archie’s Café at morning tea on opening day, which is very exciting for our Junior School students, who haven’t had access to a Pymble food outlet until now. From Wednesday 26 October, Years 5 and 6 can also make purchases from Archie’s Café at lunch time.
Please refer to the MyPymble notice with the title ‘Does your daughter have her Student ID card?’, which was posted to Year 5 and 6 parents and carers on Tuesday October 4. This outlines how to enable your daughter’s Student ID card to make cashless purchases at College food outlets.
Secondary School students can access Archie’s Café from lunchtime on Tuesday 25 October.
Hours of operation
Monday to Friday: 7.00am to 4.30pm
Saturday: 7.15am to 12.00pm
During the school day, Archie’s Café is for students in Years 5 to 10 only. All students (K-12), parents, visitors and staff are able to access Archie’s Cafe before and after school hours and on Saturday.

Celebrating Diwali
On Monday 24 October, the College will be celebrating Diwali with a gathering of interested students and staff in the John Reid Hall in the Junior School at lunch time. Our Intercultural Connections Prefect, Celine Hu, and Community Prefects, Senu Edirisinghe and Georgia Stuart, along with their student committees, will be leading the cultural activities, which include dancing, music, sari tying, rangoli, sweets, decorating dolls and more.
COVID update
Could this be one of the last COVID updates for the College? Fingers are well and truly crossed! A friendly reminder to please refer to the ‘COVID management update for Pymble families’ posted on MyPymble on Tuesday 18 October. Of particular importance is the College process for reporting and managing COVID cases among students following the cessation of mandatory self-isolation periods. You can also access the update here.
