Term 4 Update with Principal Amy Whyte

Plympton International College is ending 2025 on a high, celebrating a year of creativity and curiosity across our R–12 community. From inquiry learning in our early years to real-world projects in our senior years, including the Year 10 MasterChef Challenge, learning expos, and our first R–12 musical, Alice in Wonderland, students have embraced challenges and shown incredible growth.

Belonging has been a major theme this year. We welcomed new students through our transition programs, reconnected globally with the return of the China Educational Tour and enjoyed community moments like Evening on the Green. Students enjoy a range of sports, from dragon boat racing and volleyball to swimming week and new house competitions.

Looking ahead, we’re excited for 2026. With our Strategic Plan underway and a $14.5 million upgrade already transforming our facilities, including a new library, Food Tech kitchens and a green piazza, we’re creating world-class spaces for learning. Thank you to our students, staff and families for a wonderful year. We look forward to welcoming everyone back in 2026.

On Friday, 21 August, our Year 8 students took on Woodhouse Adventure Park for their Resilience Challenge Day.

Students participated in a variety of activities, including laser skirmish, the Challenge Hill course and the labyrinth maze, combining plenty of fun with collaboration, teamwork and personal achievement. Each activity presented its own challenges, encouraging students to step outside their comfort zones, support one another and develop resilience along the way.

The experience is one of a number of exciting opportunities available as part of the Middle Years curriculum at Plympton International College, providing students with opportunities to develop important skills beyond the classroom while building stronger connections with their peers.

It was a fantastic day of challenge, teamwork and growth for our Year 8 students.
