As Term 3 draws to a close, there is much to celebrate and be thankful for. It has been a full and rewarding term, characterised by learning, opportunity, service, and achievement, in which our girls have demonstrated courage and character.
As Term 3 draws to a close, there is much to celebrate and be thankful for. It has been a full and rewarding term, characterised by learning, opportunity, service, and achievement, in which our girls have demonstrated courage and character.
For our Class of 2026, this week has marked an important milestone. Final Assembly, Activities Day, the Colour Run, Valedictory Assembly and Dinner each provided an opportunity to reflect on just how far each girl has travelled since they first walked through the gates of PLC Armidale. We have watched girls grow in knowledge, accomplishment, confidence, resilience, independence and character.
Valedictory is something of a paradox. We farewell our Year 12 girls while reminding them that they are not quite finished yet! Their formal academic program at PLC Armidale may now be complete, but the HSC examinations still lie ahead. There is more preparation to be done, perseverance required and more courage to summon before they can finally close their schoolbooks.
At our Valedictory Assembly, I reflected on the world into which many of these young women were born in 2008 and the extraordinary changes they have witnessed during their relatively short lives. Yet amid all that change, some things remain enduringly important: the courage to make difficult choices, the character to do what is right when no one is watching, the resilience to keep going when things do not unfold as we hoped, and the wisdom to recognise that success rarely walks a straight line.
These messages were reinforced beautifully by ...

... our Valedictory Guest Speaker, Dr Georgina Cornall,(Class of 2016) who encouraged the girls to pursue areas they are passionate about, to recognise that growth comes through perseverance, and to have the courage to pursue the opportunities before them.
Her message was an important reminder that the years ahead will not necessarily unfold according to a carefully constructed plan and that this is not something to fear. Often it is through challenge, persistence and unexpected opportunities that we discover both what we are capable of and where we can make our greatest contribution.
Already, the achievements of the Class of 2026 give us much to celebrate.
Congratulations to our Music 1 students Molly Chard, Jade Foster and Lila Killen, who have received nominations for ENCORE, the HSC Music performance showcase event while we await the consideration of our Music Compositions by Lila Killen and Music 2 Extention student Binudi Vithana.
Congratulations also to Emily Adams, Rebe Cunningham, Jade Foster, Jessica MacMahon and Navita Maher, who received nominations for OnSTAGE, with Rebe Cunningham and Jade Foster being nominated for their Individual Drama Performances. These nominations recognise not only talent, but also the countless hours of practice, rehearsal, refinement and perseverance which sit behind an outstanding performance. We are enormously proud of each girl and their teachers Mrs Jo Wysel (Drama), Mr Sam Jacometti (Music 1) who have encouraged, challenged and supported them along the way.
As Year 12 continue to prepare for the final examinations, I encourage them to approach these last weeks as they have approached so much of their journey: one step, one day and one challenge at a time. An examination result can tell us something about what a student knew and could demonstrate on a particular day; it can never capture the full measure of a young woman — her kindness, courage, curiosity, integrity, humour, friendships, service or potential. Those qualities will ultimately matter far beyond the examination room.
As we finish the term, I extend my sincere thanks to our staff for the extraordinary contribution made to the College and commitment to their students from PreKinder right through to Year 12. Thank you to our families for your partnership and support, and especially to our students for the energy, enthusiasm and engagement they bring each day.
For some, the coming weeks will provide a well-earned opportunity to rest and recharge. For others, the adventure continues. We wish our Year 8 girls travelling to Central Australia a wonderful experience as they explore one of the most remarkable parts of our country, and our Year 10 and 11 students participating in the Thailand Service Learning Tour a safe and meaningful journey. Both groups are keen to embrace the opportunity to learn from the people and places they encounter, to serve generously and to return with a broader understanding of themselves and their world.
To every member of our PLC Armidale community, thank you for another wonderful term. I wish you a safe, restorative and enjoyable break and look forward to welcoming everyone back for the final term of 2026.
Congratulations
Congratulations
Throughout the year, we want to acknowledge and celebrate the various interests and accomplishments of PLC Armidale girls. We will be aware of the experiences girls undertake to represent the College. We may not know about experiences and achievements in areas of interest outside of school. Please let our Communications and Marketing Manager, Mrs Arundale know. Mrs Arundale greatly enjoys telling the story of the quality and achievements of our PLC Armidale girls.

Wellbeing Wednesday
Wellbeing Wednesday
Each Wednesday, we run a creative wellbeing program for students in years 7-11 in small groups. In addition to the small group sessions, we also set aside time for individual sessions and tailored small groups.
Where possible, we attempt to identify girls we believe would benefit from additional support or creative wellbeing time. In these cases, parents are contacted to receive permission for their daughter to participate. However, we realise there may be many girls who wish to take advantage of this creative wellbeing time, and we would love to provide them with this opportunity.
Therefore, we wish to invite parents to please let us know if your daughter, or a suggested small group, would be keen to take advantage of this service. There are no additional costs involved, and students may attend over several weeks, depending on their needs and availability.
The creative wellbeing space is colourful, welcoming and relaxed, providing an environment where students can unwind through painting, drawing and other creative activities while engaging in supportive, confidential conversations. For some students, the sessions provide a chance to relax, connect and recharge. For others, they may offer additional support with concerns such as anxiety, stress, friendships, self-confidence, homesickness (for boarders), or other wellbeing challenges.
The program is facilitated by Paula Jenkins, a qualified Art Therapist and professional artist, currently completing a Master of Counselling. She brings extensive experience supporting young people through creative wellbeing programs, art therapy and mentoring.
If you would like to discuss whether these sessions may be suitable for your daughter, please feel free to contact her at pjenkins@plcarmidale.nsw.edu.au or you can call her directly on 0439 384 433.
We look forward to continuing to support the wellbeing of our students.

Pastoral Care Staff
The purpose of the Pastoral Care model at PLC Armidale is to ensure that every girl is known and nurtured and that parents have a member of staff they can contact regarding any well-being issues that may arise.
Where possible, our Year Mentors remain with students on their journey throughout from Year 7 through to Year 9, and then with a new Mentor and Pastoral Care team from Year 10 to Year 12.
In addition, a Year Specialist has been allocated to assist students in each year group, and this person generally stays on this same year group for a number of rotations. Mentors and Specialists are also ably assisted by their Pastoral Care team members, under the oversight of the Head of Senior School, the College Chaplain, and our School Psychologist.
