School in New Zealand is much like school in most western countries especially Australia (the closest large country), however it is also influenced by the native culture of Maori so most schools teach children basic Maori words (kupu) and songs (waiata). Some schools are taught all in Te Reo Maori (the Maori language) and are called Kura Kaupapa Maori.
