Round Square School

Whanganui Collegiate School was awarded Round Square Global School membership in 2021. This was a significant milestone for the School, becoming the third global member in New Zealand. The other member Schools being Christ’s College and King’s College.

Round Square is an international organisation that is connected with 200+ Schools, across 50+ countries that connect and collaborate to offer world class programmes and experience, in order to develop global competence, character and confidence in students. Our world needs courageous and compassionate leaders, prepared to discover and embrace different cultures and nationalities in ways that promote meaningful and lasting understanding and respect. Today's students are the leaders of the future - and our students at Whanganui Collegiate School have every opportunity to excel and flourish. It is our responsibility to prepare them well and we look forward to the positive impact Round Square will have on our School.

In December 2023 we hosted an International Round Square Conference where students and staff from Round Square Schools across the globe joined us. A fun-filled week fostering themes of Service and Leadership will continue to impact participants long after the conference ended.
