Music, dance, drama, creative writing and visual arts have been explored and celebrated on both campuses. Creativity has also been highlighted in exploring the STEM subjects of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. Thinking in original ways is celebrated as girls explore the world around them. The theme word for the year has been ‘integrity’. As a school we have explored what this looks like and its importance to one’s character. Students know that integrity is linked to courage in doing the right thing, no matter what the consequences. Character growth is an important feature of an Abbotsleigh education with our values firmly grounded in our Christian faith. I thank you all for your involvement in supporting your daughter’s learning journey and it is with pleasure that I share with you some of the highlights of the year.

  • 2019 Term 4 Basketball Information for Parents
    2019 TERM 4 BASKETBALL INFORMATION FOR PARENTS Dear Parents We are looking forward to the Term 4 IPSHA Basketball Competition. I hope your daughter has an enjoyable term while learning new skills, socialising and keeping fit. Duration : Each game is 2 x 20 minute halves with a 5 minute half time. Girls are asked to be at the game 30 minutes before the allocated start time. Uniform : ➢ PLC Sydney black PE shorts ➢ PLC Sydney NEW reversible singlet ➢ PLC Sydney tracksuit (optional) ➢ White Socks ➢ Sports Shoes ➢ Please note, there are some safety concerns with the sports shoes being worn to Saturday sport. Basketball shoes are different to walking shoes and running shoes, they primarily provide support during sidewards movement, reducing the risk of lower limb sprains. Running shoes only support the foot when running in a forward direction. Walking shoes (even those that look like sports shoes) provide​ no​ ​support ​for sport due to the soft flexible design, dramatically increasing the chance of injury. The PLC Sydney tracksuit may be worn to and from the venue. The grey zip-up sports top may be worn on Saturdays, but only underneath the school tracksuit. Hair must be tied back off the face and no jewellery is to be worn. Nails must be short. PLC Sydney caps may be worn to and from the game, however, may not be worn during the game for safety reasons. If outdoors, the soft brim green hat can be worn while playing. Wet Weather : Step 1 : Download the 'ipsha app' Step 2 : Click on 'venue closure' Please note that all games are ON until called off via that app.
