Junior School

At St Margaret’s the Junior School aims to provide the girls with a balanced programme that embraces all areas of the curriculum. As an Independent School, the academic staff is able to develop the curriculum by taking the best of the new NZ Curriculum and blending it with proven academic programmes that best meet the learning needs of our students.

Literacy and Numeracy form the major component of what is taught in the primary years. Much time is given to professional development of staff to keep abreast of the most effective ways to teach and facilitate learning in these areas.

The Junior School at St Margaret’s focuses on developing happy, independent, life-long learners. The girls are given every opportunity to thrive in a happy, secure and caring learning environment. Small classes ensure individual attention and specialist teachers and facilities, shared by students throughout the school, offer exceptional junior school opportunities for sport, music, dance, foreign languages, speech and drama.

St Margaret’s College also provides an After-School Care programme and a School Holiday programme. The Holiday programme is open to boys and girls aged 5-12, with children from all schools welcome. A variety of entertaining and enriching activities and outings are offered with an emphasis on holiday fun. Further information and dates are available from the School Office.
