Boarding Roadshows

Hīkoi whakaaturanga kuranoho

Each year, our Boarding Roadshows take place in February and March to provide prospective parents and students from throughout the South Island with the opportunity to learn more about the wonderful boarding environment at St Andrew’s College.

2026 Boarding Roadshows

Our Boarding Roadshow events are a fantastic opportunity to meet current boarding students and their families, along with members of our boarding staff, in a relaxed and informal setting over drinks and nibbles.

Each year, our Roadshows travel to locations around the South Island at the beginning of Term 1. Some events are also attended by our student Heads of Boarding. In addition, we take part in selected Agricultural and Pastoral (A&P) Shows, where you are welcome to visit our marquee for a chat and to collect an information pack.

Please see below for the 2026 Boarding Roadshows dates and locations. Registration links will be shared closer to the time.
