Phoebe Cridland competed in cross-country skiing and was part of a historic Australian team. Alongside her teammates, Phoebe became part of the first Australian women’s cross-country relay team to compete at a Winter Olympic Games. The team finished 14th, marking an important milestone for the sport in Australia.

Being a PLC Sydney student means being part of a global network of women. Friends, family, fellow alumni, and staff came out in full force to cheer on these ex-students at the Winter Olympics, a remarkable display of love and support.
Among the supporters in Italy was PLC Sydney’s Head of Snowsports , highlighting the strong connection between the College and its students even after graduation.
This unwavering encouragement reflects the strength of the PLC Sydney community and shows that the friendships and memories formed during students’ time at the College last a lifetime.
The achievements of Emma, Charlotte, Abbey, and Phoebe continue a proud tradition of PLC Sydney students and staff representing Australia on the world stage. We congratulate them on their inspiring performances and look forward to following their future successes.
