OLD COLLEGIANS’
ASSOCIATION
A community for life While the rich history of PLC over the past 106 years includes a location move, huge campus growth, some uniform changes and a constantly evolving curriculum and set of educational offerings, the real history of this extraordinary school is in its people. The students, the principals, the teachers, the staff, the parents, the volunteers, the suppliers; past and present; old and new; are all integral to PLC’s ongoing success and story. Together the OCA and PLC believe that once you join the PLC family you will be a part of this community for life. For the OCA, this enduring focus on fostering a positive and engaged community is incredibly well reflected by the multi-generational connection between so many Old Collegians families and PLC today. Today PLC has a student base with just over 25 per cent being daughters, granddaughters or greatgranddaughters of Old Collegians. This is amongst the highest percentage of any girls’ school in Australia and we are immensely proud and grateful that generation after generation, where
possible, so many PLC girls and boys choose to send their children back to PLC to receive an incredible education.
Welcoming Old Collegians back to PLC A big thank you to PLC for welcoming back our Old Collegian community to many events over the past few months, including the fabulous ‘Conversations at PLC’ which featured Old Collegian and Chair of World Vision International Donna Shephard and the beautiful PLC Easter Service and Luncheon attended by 75 Old Collegians. We look forward to welcoming Old Collegians and members of the PLC Community to our upcoming Art Exhibition in May and other events including the Tartan Lawyers Networking Event and PLC Student Careers Event this coming term.
Congratulations to PLC for taking another victory at the annual Independent Girls Old Scholars Tennis Day at Reabold Park Tennis Club in late March. It was a great day of very competitive tennis and PLC was victorious defeating 6 other schools to take the trophy.
