New Zealand School Uniform School Type: Residential Arrangements


Figure 1.--New Zealand has a number of boarding schools for both pimary and secondary age students. Boarding schools at the secondary level have been more succesful than at the primary level.

Most New Zealand children attend day schools. There are also a number of boarding schools. Parental attitudes toward residential arrangements have gradually shifted. New Zealand of course is a former British colony. Many parents choosing private education used to follow the British system emphasizing boarding. This has declined considerably, especially for the younger children. Several city schools have closed oarding facilities and boarding enrollment has declined. Boarding for older children has held up better. One factor in New Zeland was that quite a number of children in rural areas could not practically attend day schools. This was especially the case at the secondaty level. Thus parents chose private boarding schools. Quite a number of state secondary schools opened hostels to also accomodate these youths. Boarding schools have a range of rules about wearing the uniform which vary widely from school to school.
