Tour Our School

Whanganui Collegiate School students are determined to do well. From all over the world, from throughout New Zealand, from city or farm, and from right here in Whanganui - boys and girls, boarders and day students - every one of them has chosen to make Whanganui Collegiate School part of their life journey.  

Discover for yourself what sets Whanganui Collegiate School apart.  Arrange a personal tour, come to an Open Day, or join us for our 'sleepover' in May.  Explore the facilities, talk to our students and staff.  Meet our Headmaster, Mr Wayne Brown.

Learn how the Whanganui Collegiate School experience prepares young people for their futures, inspiring excellence and their development as exceptional people.
