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 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 at the beginning of each school year and some of them are attended by our student Heads of Boarding. We also attend select agricultural events (A&P Shows), where you are welcome to drop by our marquee to have a chat and pick up an information pack.
Please refer to the list of dates and locations below for our 2026 Boarding Roadshows. Venue details and further information will be shared closer to the time.
