Agenda

JSPG Breakfast Events

We are excited to be holding two JSPG Breakfast events for our Junior School families on Tuesday 22 March (Kindergarten to Year 3) and Wednesday 23 March (Years 4 to 6). Our venue is The Greengate Hotel. Please note that there is parking onsite (at the back of the hotel) and in the surrounding streets. Killara train station is also a ten-minute walk.

Pedal Your Smoothie

This event is being held on Wednesday 16 March and is one that is much-loved by our girls who ride exercise bikes to mix their choice of smoothie. All proceeds from the event are being donated to Hornsby Ku-ring-gai Women’s Shelter, who do valuable work assisting women in crisis.

To check your details, log in to MyPymble, click on ‘My Profile’ (top right-hand side) and then ‘Edit My Details’.
