Can my English medium schooling be presented as proof of English proficiency instead of a test in New Zealand?

It depends. Some New Zealand universities may accept a Medium of Instruction (MoI) certificate from your English medium schooling as proof of English proficiency and waive the English test requirement for admission. This decision varies by university and their specific policies.

However, for the New Zealand student visa, Immigration New Zealand usually does not accept MoI alone. They typically require standardized test scores like IELTS or PTE, unless your Offer of Place from the university clearly states you meet the English requirement.
