How old do you have to be to get into an aviation school in NZ?

Hi, so I live in NZ. I want to get into an aviation school ASAP, I am now 14 years old and attend Auckland Grammar school, around Auckland, obviously. My parents said to me, either go to the military, go to a programming school or go to an aviation school. They don't want me to stay in when I'm 18, as they think it will be a waste of time and I could already be learning towards a degree by then. The minimum age I can quit school is 17. So how old do I have to be to go to an aviation school in NZ? I know you need to get a private pilot's license and all that, but how old do you have to be to join a school who does that (such as Massey university), as they combine all of those courses for the licenses and such? I am currently a Resident, not a citizen, so can I still apply for an Aviation school? I have an Israeli passport, I am Russian however, I never considered myself even slightly Israeli and I don't share their culture in my daily life, neither do I have Israeli relatives or friends.

So anyway, can I still get into an aviation school (which integrates all the separate courses, such as the Massey aviation school) by 17? Thanks :)
