New Zealand School Uniform Regulations: Residential Arrangements


Figure 1.--Some of the boarding schools allow the chldren to change into regular clothes in the afternoon or evening. Some of the boys at this school do not bother, but most do. The time varies a bit depending on the various programs in which the boys are involved. These boys are working on a project together.

Some private schools are boarding schools. New Zealand is a small country and tere are realtively few boarding schools. They may also have day children. The rules here and the number of day children vary from school go school. This is an important matter because the character of a boarding schoolncan change substantially if large numbers of day children are permitted. We also notice day schools with a small boarding section. This has declined in recent years because the costs are quite high when only a small nimbers of barders are involved. Many of the costs are fixed and a small number of boarders do not cover them. While most boarers are at private schools, quite a number of secondary schools have hostels for the children living at some distance from the school. Uniform rules for the boarders vary from school to school. Almost all of the schools involved require uniforms. Day children and boarders wear the same uniforms. A few of the schools allow the chilren to change into regular clothes for the afternoon or evening. The school might regulate the casual clothese the children are allowed to wear. This might be allowed after clases and games in the afternoon. Or in the evening after prep. The time varies from school to school. Other schools have the children wear their uniforms all day long.
