Default Re: Help! - Thinking about moving to NZ

Very interesting to read !
I too am looking to move to NZ with my husband and 3 kids ( ages 7 and 6months-twins all boys waiting to learn to play rugby !lol!).
We are looking at the South island and I am pretty set on Dunedin although my husband is more realistic than me so we are going to come over for a recce ! My eldest son told me today that he can't wait to emigrate which made my life alot easier ....

So what are your views on the south island and what kind of job opportunities are there for a HGV drive and a special needs teacher ?????

Is childcare widely available at reasonable rates ??? ( Here in the UK they rob you blind...... my job doesn't pay enough to cover childcare expenses so I had to quit to stay at home !)

Is the education system similar to the Uk ? How is discipline in schools ?? (In the UK its a shocker !!!)

Sorry to hijack a thread .........
