Who uses the school terms and holiday dates?

For:School terms and holidays
State and state-integrated schools and kura The New Zealand school year is usually divided into four terms. There is usually a two-week break between each of the first three terms and a summer holiday at the end of Term 4 of about six weeks
Early learning services (including kindergartens and playcentres) Generally follow the same term and holiday dates as state schools
Full-time daycare centres Are usually open through the school holidays but close for a time over Christmas
Private schools Have greater legislative freedom than state and integrated schools and kura and are able to vary their opening hours and school year
