Any chances of snowboarding? at what time of year?

Yes and usually mid year, but it depends on where you are. The South Island is the cold mountainous island where mountain sports happen a lot. I'm not an authority on it so here's a link to get you started. :D

And exactly how good is the surfing?

Up here in Auckland a trip out to the west coast and jump on in. Plenty of people surf. The East coast where I am is way more sheltered from big seas and sailboarding is common when the wind picks up. Then there's that weird parafoil/surfboarding thing too . . . I forget the name.

I'm considering doing one year of my education in NZ, so any input would be nice. And no, I refuse to choose out of the quality of the schools :)
