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.
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.
The Boarding Advantage
Boarding at St Andrew’s College offers more than accommodation. It provides a supportive environment where students develop independence, strong routines, and a sense of belonging, while accessing opportunities they may not have locally.
Study in Christchurch, Board in the South Island
Ōtautahi Christchurch offers the best of both worlds: a vibrant, well-connected city with the space and balance of the South Island lifestyle. For families based in the North Island, regular direct flights to Christchurch make travel straightforward, ensuring students can stay well connected to home.
Students benefit from a structured boarding environment while accessing the academic, sporting, and cultural opportunities of a leading South Island school, all within a supportive and well-connected community.
