Foundation

Since Queen Margaret College opened its doors over 90 years ago it has been responsible for the education of more than 5,000 girls. The Foundation's role is to secure the future of Queen Margaret College as a proudly private school with a unique educational vision:

Passionate Learners
                     Resilient Women
                                       Future Leaders

While school fees cater for the annual operation of the College, donations, bequests and gifts enable the school to develop its facilities and increase the learning opportunities for students now and in the future. The Foundation seeks to inspire and encourage donations  for the school's advancement and to raise awareness in the extended community of how philanthropy can enrich donors, the school and our children.
