Question primary school catchment zones
Hi again everyone, I am certainly enjoying the wealth of info available here, especially the stuff on schools. I think I've worked out the decile system but want to know if the zones for schools are strict? We will be renting initially and our boy will start in 2008 , he's seven. We are hoping to be in or very near Christchurch, I know it's urban but 15 years of cows and fields and we are craving " culture" ( whatever that is??) So, any good primary schools and if so what areas should I be looking at? His experience in France has been old school, lots of spelling tests and learning by heart of poetry but v little games, music or drama. Can we hope for more creative time in NZ for him? Also ( long shot...know any other French familes in CChurch??)

Cheers!
