Explore the World with Us

We offer a variety of enriching international experiences designed to broaden students' horizons and provide them with unique learning opportunities. Below are some of the trips we have organised in the past:

Business Trip to New York

• In 2025, senior business students in both IBDP and NCEA visited the heart of global commerce, New York. An opportunity to go behind the scenes of major corporations, attend workshops, and gain firsthand insights into the world of business.

Language Immersion Trips

Taking a language at QMC is an immersive experience. As recently as 2024, senior language classes departed from Aotearoa, diving into the culture and language to enhance their studies.

• Tahiti: Experience the beauty of the islands while enhancing your French language skills.
• Japan: Discover the rich traditions and modern innovations of Japan. Our trip includes language classes, cultural excursions, and interactions with local students.
• China: Explore the ancient and contemporary wonders of Beijing China. Students participate in Mandarin language lessons and cultural activities, providing a deeper understanding.
• Chile: Students improve their Spanish language skills through immersive classes and cultural activities.

Extra-Curricular Opportunities

We encourage our students and groups to pursue international opportunities that align with their interests and talents. For instance, our premier choir, Voces Luce, competed in the prestigious Orientale Concentus choral festival in Singapore in 2023. These experiences not only enhance their skills but also provide invaluable cultural exposure and personal growth.

Please note that these trips are examples of past experiences and may not be available every year.

Exchanges

International exchanges enable language development and invite students to learn about new cultures and engage in new communities. Girls are billeted with host families, with the expectation that they will host a student from the partner school in return.

Partnerships

We have partnerships with 10 schools around the world. These schools are situated in Australia, China, Chile, France, Japan and the USA.

Leadership Courses

Students are offered international opportunities at the Global Leaders Conference hosted in China, Europe and the USA and the Student Leadership Conference in Australia.
