Queen Margaret College’s central location makes it highly accessible via public transport, no matter where your journey might begin. We also offer several QMC private school bus options that bring students direct to the front gate, see below for more information about these or email reception@qmc.school.nz

Our campus is a 10-minute stroll from Wellington Train Station, making rail an efficient option for students and staff. Several bus stops are located within minutes of the college, providing additional commuting options.
