You cannot carry passengers on a restricted licence unless you meet these conditions (as per NZTA website);

•You cannot normally carry passengers, unless you have a supervisor with you. The only passengers you can carry without a supervisor are:
?your spouse, or the person you live with as if you were married or with whom you are joined in a civil union
?children who live with you and are under the care of you or your spouse (that is, you or your spouse are their parent or guardian
?your parent or guardian
?relatives who live with you and who are on a social security benefit
?someone you look after as their primary caregiver.

In other words, you would need to be the legal guardian of your siblings.
You can apply for an exemption from meeting the conditions, but exemptions are very rarely given.
