Something interesting about New Zealand’s school system

Anja H., Germany

For better understanding it’s important to know that more than 80 percent of New Zealand’s population are Britons or Europeans. So it’s not bizarre that the New Zealand school system is similar to the British ones. We all know that the seasons are different to ours. So the school year starts in New Zealand in January (after the summer holidays there) and ends in November. As far as I know, is the school year divided into four terms with two weeks of holidays after every term. New Zealand is held in high esteem because of its school system.

Lots of families from all over the world enable their children to stay abroad to get beside an excellent school education some political and cultural expressions. At most schools wearing a school uniform is obligatory. For New Zealand teenager’s daily life takes place in school where they stay up to the late afternoon. The lessons start at 8:45 and ends toward 15:15. Some spend their leisure time with his sports team or in one of the numerous clubs. Even those who want to study on that island country don’t miss out because of various institutions such as tertiary institutes or English language provider. Also, pack your things and hurl yourself into adventures!
