Most New Zealand schools require uniforms. In senior years, some schools make it optional, and a few do not have uniforms at all.
For international students, adjusting to uniforms may take time—but they offer many positives:
Many schools operate a House System, dividing students into houses for sports, cultural, and academic competitions.
Encourages team spirit and leadership
Creates a strong sense of community within the school
New Zealand’s natural landscapes provide the perfect classroom. Many schools offer outdoor education programs that include:
Hiking, camping, and adventure trips
Environmental and sustainability projects
Leadership and survival skills
Beyond academics, schools offer a wide variety of clubs and activities, such as:
Music, drama, and art
Robotics, debating, and cultural groups
Sports from rugby to rowing, cricket to skiing
