Government House in Newtown, Wellington, is the home of Dame Cindy Kiro, Governor-General of New Zealand. Our education team offer tours and programmes on site and virtually for students of all ages. All programmes and tours are free and can be adapted to meet learners' needs.

The House is a category 1 heritage building and visits here support the Aotearoa New Zealand history curriculum, civics and citizenship education, identity stories and celebrating local heroes and volunteers. We have an extensive NZ art collection.

Our website has teaching units on the role of Governor-General and on Inspirational New Zealanders and the Royal Honours system. 

We work closely with the Education team at Parliament and recommend schools visiting Parliament also visit Government House to gain an appreciation of the different branches of the New Zealand government system.
