EDUCATION IN NEW ZEALAND The education system in New Zealand comprises:
• early childhood education - from birth to school entry age
• primary and intermediate schools – from 5 to 13 years of age
• secondary schools - from 13 to 19 years of age
• further education - higher and vocational education.
The education system in New Zealand reflects our unique and diverse society. We welcome different abilities, religious beliefs, ethnic groups and ideas about teaching and learning. We have processes in place to give students consistent, high-quality education at all levels. Schooling is compulsory in New Zealand from ages 6 to 16 however students can choose to start school on the day they turn 5 years old. Most students in New Zealand stay at school until they are 17 or 18 years of age. State, State- Integrated and Private schools Most schools in New Zealand are owned and funded by the state and teach the national curriculum.
State schools are secular meaning they have no religious affiliations.
State-integrated schools are schools that were private and have become part of the state education system. They are funded by the government and teach the national curriculum. State-integrated schools have special character and promote their own religion and beliefs in addition to the state education system.
Private schools are mostly funded through school fees. They develop their own learning programmes and do not have to follow the national curriculum. National Curriculum The national curriculum covers subjects that are taught at primary, intermediate and secondary schools and sets out the standards students should reach in each subject.
Primary/intermediate education focuses on foundation learning across a range of subjects and competencies but especially in literacy and numeracy. At secondary school, students learn a broad and balanced curriculum with increased specialisation in higher year levels. English is the language of instruction with various courses and support available for English second language learners.
To learn more about the New Zealand Curriculum: www.nzcurriculum.tki.org.nz/The-New-Zealand-Curriculum National Certificate of Educational Achievement (NCEA) The National Certificate of Educational Achievement (NCEA) is the national senior secondary school qualification. NCEA is assessed during the last three years at school (Years 11 to 13). Students can achieve NCEA at all 3 levels in a wide range of courses and subjects. NCEA challenges students of all abilities in all learning areas and shows credits and grades for separate skills and knowledge. It enables students to gain credits from both traditional school curriculum areas and alternative programmes. Enrolling in the Primary and Intermediate Schools Programme (PSP) is an excellent opportunity to begin an educational pathway to graduate from a New Zealand high school with a National Certificate of Educational Achievement which is widely accepted around the world as a quality university entrance qualification. 3
LIVING IN NEW ZEALAND
A multi- cultural society New Zealanders, also known as Kiwis, are a friendly, outgoing and welcoming people. 14.6% of the 4.4 million population are Maori, New Zealand’s native people. The other 85.4% are a mixture of Europeans, Asians and Pacific Islanders. This unusual blend of cultures is one reason why New Zealand is so unique. There are three official languages in New Zealand; Maori, English and New Zealand Sign Language with English being the main everyday language. Becoming one of the locals The best way to feel at home in New Zealand is to become one of the locals. Getting to know the Kiwi’s around you will be one of the things you will love most about your time in our country. New Zealanders are very kind-hearted, they like to joke and smile, and welcome opportunities to meet new people. Try to relax and be willing to learn our culture and don’t worry about making mistakes with your English as New Zealanders will appreciate you making the effort.

OTAGO
Located in the centre of the South Island, Central Otago comprises a series of river basins and deep river gorges.
Central Otago is the only region in New Zealand to experience a near continental climate, having the hottest summers and coldest winters in New Zealand. Old trails that provided access for thousands of miners in the gold rush of the 1860s can still be seen winding over the hills, along with stone cottages, cleverly engineered water channels, mines and machinery associated with the gold rush.
Education options for school age international students in and around Dunedin are excellent.
Main City: Dunedin
Population: 117,400

SOUTHLAND
Southland is New Zealand's southernmost region and includes New Zealand's third island, Stewart Island.
The lush, green pastoral lands of Southland are a strong contrast to the dryness of Central Otago further north. Throughout the Southland region are a number of accessible, tranquil waterways that attract fly-fishing enthusiasts in search of brown trout.
Southland's largest urban centre is Invercargill, a city of 49,000 people. Visitors come to admire the elegant Victorian and Edwardian buildings, gardens and landscaped parks. As in Dunedin to the north, Invercargill was originally settled by people from Scotland.
Invercargill is built around beautiful Queens Park—80 hectares of gardens, wildlife and sporting fun. As well as an 18-hole golf course, the park has animal enclosures, a bird aviary, play areas and the Southland Museum.
Main City: Invercargill
Population: 50,300
