WELCOME TO THE COMMON ROOM - A NEW TRADITION

Over the past three years, a new tradition has emerged as we welcome the incoming Year 12 to the space, acknowledge the importance of their role as Year 12 and pause to consider that their time as PLC Sydney girls is coming to an end.

This year, before the 2022 School Captain Georgia Macdessi cut the red ribbon and students ran in to claim their spot and find their lockers, Dr Burgis took a moment to acknowledge that in many ways this marks the beginning of their final year at school. This shared space of friendship and study is named in honour of Mrs Deirdre Coleman, who taught at the College for over 20 years. Special thanks to The Ex-Students, who surprised Year 12 with decorations and special cookies. We wish the Class of 2022 a great final year as PLC Sydney girls.
