Many of the questions that you may have about our New Zealand Schools E-Book are answered in various sections of the book itself. If you can not find the answer to your question, however, feel free to contact us through the e-nail link below.
The most often asked questiins will be posted here.
The major E-book sections are accessable through the table of contents, just like in a paper book. Our E-Book New Zealand Schools is composed of an
illustrated written account desribing New Zealand education and the
different types of schools, essays on going to school in New Zealand, and
a series of photo essays on different aspects of the school experience.
Interspersed with the photographs are short excerpts written by the
children themselves. As time goes by we will add several other features.
Apertutres Press welcomes contributions from New Zealand on our schools book. We were able to visit only a small proportion of the schools in New Zealand. We did visit over 100 schools covering a wide cross section of New Zealand eduvation. That, however, only scratches the surface. If you would like to contribute material about your school or your school experience, we incourage you to do so. Contrubutions can be photographs, drawings, essays, or just little written snipets--what ever you may care to contribute.
We have relied heavily on information from New Zealand schools for the
written material in our book. Inteviews and conversations with the staff and
students of the various schools we visited is a primary source. We have also
relied on the publications the schools gave us during our visit as well as
postings on the internet. We have also consulted a variety of Ministry of
Education material and academic publications for needed background. Some particularly valuable works for readers interested in research and more academic assessments on New Zealand education are listed on this page.
