We welcome girls at every year level to study with us. As a school we are proud to have students from more than 40 countries; QMC truly reflects the rich cultural diversity of New Zealand.

Our college has a nurturing environment where students can build strong connections with their peers, teachers and their new home environment.

As an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School we teach the Primary Years Programme, Middle Years Programme and the IB Diploma. We instil a spirit of excellence and exploration and have a wide range of sporting, cultural and leadership opportunities.
