Boarding Roadshows

Hīkoi whakaaturanga nohokura

Each year, our Boarding Roadshows in February and March 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. These events are a great way for you to meet current boarding students and their families, as well as boarding staff, in a relaxed and informal get together over drinks and nibbles. Our Roadshows visit locations around the South Island (please the list of typical locations below) at the beginning of each year and some of them are attended by our Heads of Boarding. We also attend select agricultural events, where you are welcome to drop by our marquee to have a chat and pick up an information pack.
