Wanganui has three important qualities - accessibility to the main centres, the safety of a beautiful provincial location, and one of the most temperate climates in the world. An ideal mix for one of New Zealand's oldest and most famous full boarding schools.



Wanganui is just one hour from Auckland and thirty minutes from Wellington by plane, and there is excellent road access to all parts of the North Island.

Students come to us to enjoy international class athletics facilities, a velodrome, an indoor swimming centre, an artificial hockey turf, and an international level golf course, all within walking distance of Wanganui Collegiate School - well worth the journey.

Located on Liverpool Street,  the School is centrally situated one block from Wanganui's main street, Victoria Avenue.
