The Pulteney Review Weekly (PRW) is Pulteney’s regular e-newsletter, emailed to families every Tuesday during Term time. This pertains important information, so please ensure you take the time to read this every week. Other important information will be shared via the Parent Portal, so please continuously check this page.

Early in the first term an evening is conducted where staff and parents meet and discuss educational programs planned for the coming year. It is highly recommended that parents attend this function to meet with their child’s teachers.

Many special events take place within our School community throughout the year. Please complete the photo permission form via the secure Parent Portal to indicate if you consent to your child being photographed or filmed by the School, and where you permit the School to use photos, video or audio of your child. Permission must be completed at the commencement of each School year but can be updated by parents at any time via the Portal.
Should you be photographing and/or filming at an event yourself, the School asks that you are mindful and respectful of other families when photographing or videoing events.

JRP Photographers attend a number of Pulteney events such as Sports Day, Grandparents Da, performances and more. The School will communicate to parents how they can access these photos following the event.

Class and individual photographs are taken annually by JRP Photographers. Details of the dates and requirements of class, individual and sibling photos will be advised during the year.

Outdoor Education is an integral part of life at Pulteney, beginning in Reception and continuing through to Year 12. All excursions, camps and expeditions are designed to promote personal growth, social interaction and environmental awareness while complementing the traditional school experience.

School camps are an important part of the Pulteney curriculum. Each camp is carefully planned and designed to foster personal growth, to build resilience, self-knowledge and confidence. Camps also present a new environment for students to connect with their peers and to gain a deeper appreciation of the natural environment.

Students often return to School with a sense of achievement and a better understanding of their capacities as individuals, leaders and teammates, and a stronger connection with the natural environment.
