NZ school holiday notes
All schools and kura (Māori-medium schools) have flexibility around their start and finish dates. However, terms 2 and 3 are fixed.
In 2021, schools must ensure they are open to a day in December which ensures there has been instruction for a minimum of 380 half-days. In 2022, this rises to 386 half-days for primary students, but remains at 380 for secondary and composite schools.
