Hmmm.... are you SURE you want to be a primary teacher in NZ?
How do you know that they are needed in Auckland. If they are then its not necessarily a good thing, inner city schools can be hard.

There is a demographic blip passing through from primary to secondary about now.

As a result school roles are dropping, schools are closing, and primary teachers are finding it hard to get work. I have friends who are primary techers, and there is gloom all around, job opportunities are only going to get worse in the next few years.

Mind you it means a bumper time coming for secondary teachers. :)
