Well, you’re here… Which means you’re very interested in registering your school to attend one of our five (5) in-person events scheduled for 2025. We are proud to offer these opportunities to your school. I have, over the past three years, absorbed significant price rises across all supply chains within my business. In 2025 I have decided to pass on a very small percentage of these cost rises which has resulted in the price of our full two day Expo events (Dubbo, Wagga & Narrabri) incurring an increase of 5%. All other offerings remain as they were for the 4th year running.
Have you read our Impact Report for 2024? The data is compelling – our reach is growing and the visitation to our website has doubled again this year.
Have you looked at our Rate Card 2025? It will answer your questions regarding cost, formats and locations we are heading to in 2025.
NSW Expo highlights – 2024 in-person events
- 1068 children attended our three Expos and one Pop-up with their families
- Almost a complete 50/50 of boys v girls
- 74% were first time visitors to one of our events
- 51% of visitors DID NOT attend boarding school (therefore no affiliation with any school – the regions are changing)
- 80% of attending families are now considering schools they hadn’t previously considered
- 94% of attending families were able to make a shortlist of schools to visit
- 100% of attending families found our events to worthwhile
Our Exit Surveys continue to highlight how important the Boarding Schools Expos are for rural and regional families. The data shows that after attending an Expo, around 80% of families are considering schools they hadn’t previously considered, and with over half of visitors not educated at boarding school it’s clear that every school in the room has an opportunity to engage with families. We know that the numbers show beyond doubt that schools attendance and responsiveness to the needs of families plays a major role.

Thank you again for being part of our BSEA family. I’m a farmer’s wife based at Trangie, NSW and proud to operate this Australian rural business – I also know what that journey to (and through) boarding school looks like. We look forward to working with you in 2025.
Best wishes,
