EXECUTIVE PRINCIPAL – DIANA PATCHETT

As I reflect on my first trip around the sun as Executive Principal of St Margaret’s College, I am ever more grateful to be leading this incredible school. We are 109 years young and continue to be amongst the top academic schools in the country in both NCEA and International Baccalaureate while giving our girls a rich and rewarding involvement in sports and the arts to an elite level.

With our commitment to holistic education, balancing academic excellence with a multitude of cocurricular opportunities, St Margaret’s College encourages students and staff to discover their passions and be the very best they can be. Well into our fourth generation of students, a St Margaret’s College education maintains traditional Anglican values with a focus on service and wellbeing, but is offered within a modern school environment

promoting diversity, innovation and sustainability.

St Margaret’s College plays an important role in developing the leadership potential of young women. This is one of the many benefits of a single sex education, where our girls have access to a wide variety of opportunities to step into a leadership space without the competitive pressure that boys might add. Our girls are set up for success, joining a global network of wahine toa with the courage to embrace change, the confidence to lead, the desire to learn and the drive to make a positive impact on the world.

At the heart of it all, I believe what sets us apart is St Margaret’s College is a family that values each girl for the gifts and talents she brings, provides a safe place for her to take on new challenges and empowers her to live and lead.
