Service 

Glenrowan aims to foster in young men a genuine spirit of service to those around them and to the wider community. As part of this commitment, we organise both local initiatives and three-week service projects in New Zealand and overseas.

​

Local activities include visits to rest homes and the elderly, as well as working bees where students offer their time and effort to support those who are unwell or in need. At the heart of Glenrowan’s approach is the belief that education should not only promote academic and professional excellence, but also encourage students to give of themselves in service of others.

​

Since 2001, Glenrowan has run three-week service projects both within New Zealand and abroad. Often in collaboration with similar centres in Sydney and Melbourne, these projects challenge students and young professionals to step outside their comfort zones and contribute meaningfully to the community. Participants generously give their time, resources, and energy, growing in a spirit of service while forming lasting friendships.

​

If you are interested in taking part in the 2026 Vietnam Service Project, which will be held during the winter holidays, please contact Glenrowan for more information.
