Curriculum

Our daily timetable balances play-based inquiry, facilitated group sessions and includes weekly gymnasium and library time. We focus on the holistic growth of each tamaiti, encompassing their social, physical, emotional, cultural and academic needs.

Programme

Our daily programme is semi-structured to provide the opportunity to explore and develop the skills and dispositions needed for a successful transition into primary school. The ‘school day’ is 7.30am - 2.45pm and the extended day is 7.30am - 5.30pm.

Transitioning to Junior School

Students entering our Junior School will participate in two school visits to the new entrants classroom, prior to their start date. The visits provide a smooth transition from Preschool to Junior School ensuring that when your daughter starts, she already has an excellent relationship with her teacher and classmates.

For children not continuing on at Queen Margaret College, our Preschool staff will provide support in their transition to other schools.
