Enrolment Events

The best way to understand St Andrew’s is to experience the College in action. Our enrolment events give families the opportunity to visit the campus, meet staff and students, ask questions, and gain a clearer sense of whether St Andrew’s is the right fit for their child.

Choose the right event for your family

Families can connect with St Andrew’s in different ways depending on their child’s stage of entry and where they are in the enrolment journey. Some events are designed for early exploration, while others help families prepare for a specific entry point.

Shadow Days

Once your child has been offered a place at St Andrew’s, they may be able to spend a day with us as a student. Shadow Days allow students to be buddied with a current student and experience College life before they start. Boarders may also be able to spend a night in the boarding house.

Please contact the Enrolments team for more information about Shadow Days.
