Queenstown is set on the shores of Lake Wakatipu in the Lakes District of the South Island. The town is New Zealand’s premier tourist resort and is a popular destination year-round.
Imagine your classroom having a view of the majestic Remarkables mountain range, a truly iconic backdrop that defines the Queenstown experience. This isn't just a pretty picture; it's an invitation to a lifestyle unlike any other.

And when winter arrives (June – September), the Remarkables and the surrounding landscape become a haven for snow sports enthusiasts.
