I am a thirteen year old girl, i just 'graduated' from intermediate. At my school, like most other New Zealand school starts at 9:30a.m. and finishes at 3:00p.m. when i get back home i feed my dog take my dog for a walk then come back and study for 1 hour, I then have dinner which takes around about 30mins after that I have 1 hour to do whatever i want. I read books for 30mins and then go to sleep. That is my average weekday (may vary due to occasions, going to a friends place, dog obedience classes etc.). So, overall, its not that bad. I don't think the school hours need to me lengthened or shortened, even the asian exchange/homestay students find that New Zealand is way behind and we have too much leisure time (which is a good thing). So in my opinion school time is fine the way it is.
