Learning Beyond the Classroom
At NZSJ, learning goes far beyond the walls of the classroom. We believe in creating rich, real-world learning experiences that connect students to their community, environment, and the wider world. Whether it’s through hands-on inquiry projects, student-led events like our bazaar, field trips, performances, service learning or participation in competitions, our students are encouraged to explore, question and engage in meaningful ways. These experiences help them build essential life skills such as collaboration, creativity, problem-solving and empathy.
