If you've ever considered boarding for your child at Hereworth, but want to see what it's really like before making this incredibly important decision, then join us on Friday 8 May for our Boarding Open House. 

In this special two hour event you'll be able to meet the team who creates such an inclusive, welcoming environment. You'll explore the dorms, the facilities, and really get a sense of how boarding at Hereworth is the ultimate advantage - a warm, incredible 'heart of the school' that allows children to explore, grow, create bonds and lay strong foundations for the rest of their lives. 

See for yourself

This is the perfect opportunity to get any questions you may have about boarding thoroughly answered, as we'll have Headmaster Matt Allen in attendance, as well as our Boarding House Director Ian Scott, and other members of our teaching staff. 

Your child will also get an insight into life at our school as they meet our current boarders, explore the dorms and playgrounds, and see what it's really like to have 22 hectares of school grounds to play in once the day is done.

It's in our DNA

For 100 years we've offered boarding to boys, and the addition of a brand new Girls' Wing in June 2026 shows how committed we are to boarding at Hereworth. It’s an essential part of our DNA as a school, as we’ve seen the benefits it can offer so many students and their families.

So while boarding may be trending down across certain regions of New Zealand, we remain committed to providing the best experience your son or daughter could experience.
