INTERNATIONAL ANTARCTIC CENTRE

Antarctica is a land like no other, with deep blue seas, unique creatures and endless icy plains under starry skies.

The International Antarctic Centre transports a slice of this astounding continent to Christchurch, with a range of immersive experiences that allow everyday visitors to see, touch, feel and fall in love with Antarctica.

Brave an Antarctic storm, go off-road in a Hägglund, befriend a husky, mingle with the penguins, experience Antarctica from all four dimensions and leave with a head full of knowledge and a heart full of love and inspiration to take action. Just like the explorers before you. See it. Love it. Save it.

WALTER PEAK FARM TOURS Nestled on the south-western shores of Queenstown’s Lake Wakatipu, you will find the picturesque Walter Peak High Country Station.

Travelling there on the iconic TSS Earnslaw vintage steamship is an experience in itself. The 45-minute journey is perfect for exploring the decks, engine room, viewing platform and onboard museum.

Upon disembarking the TSS Earnslaw, watch the farm dogs round up sheep from the paddocks and help feed the alpaca, sheep, deer and even get up close to the Scottish Highland cattle.

DUSKY DOLPHINS ON DISPLAY

Kaikōura is a unique and exciting place for a relaxing and refreshing break with the family, and watching Kaikōura’s dusky dolphins has a uniqueness all of its own.

Swimming with the dusky dolphins is a unique and sought-after activity, often described as a life-changing experience; creating special and heart-warming memories. These dolphins are found in pods allyear-round along the coast.

Not everyone decides that swimming is for them, so watching the dolphins, and the people swimming with them, is magical in itself. The acrobatic displays of the dusky dolphins will captivate your heart and put a smile on your face.

EDUCATION IS A GIFT FOR LIFE

When contemplating school options for your daughter, we understand there is a lot to consider. At Rangi, we put girls first. We offer an education where she will be welcomed and supported; a place where she can be herself, belong, and be the change.

BE THE CHANGE

Sustainability

Our students drive our ambitious Sustainability initiatives as caring and active environmentalists. They undertake projects within and beyond the school and create meaningful change through environmental, social, cultural and economic sustainability. Being part of the Rangi Community will enable your daughter to develop a strong sense of social responsibility and help lead change that is driving tomorrow’s world. We have been a finalist in the New Zealand Sustainable Business Awards in both 2018 and 2019 and in the KNZB Sustainable Schools Award in 2019. Rangi is an Enviroschool, a Fairtrade School and has been carbon neutral since 2018.

Technology and Innovation

Not only embedded in subjects such as ‘Digital and Business Technology’, technology and innovation form a wider part of the way we learn at Rangi. We explore the technologies and skills your daughter will need to lead the way in the future, such as 3D printing and Artificial Intelligence. Our ability to offer small, specialist classes, the flexibility of the NCEA programme, and our specialist technology facilities and staff combine to ensure your daughter will leave Rangi prepared for a future we can’t even yet see.
