Hi KH. Thanks for the info. I have read your other thread regarding teaching work in Chch which quite surprised me as I have been a frequent visitor to Teach NZ to keep an eye on the, seemingly, abundant amount of jobs available. I can understand that you must feel really disillusioned at the moment especially as it sounds as if you have a lot of teaching experience/qualifications. We have done quite a bit of research so far but are realising that most official bodies like NZIS paint a very rosy picture, and that getting work in NZ can be very much a word-of-mouth process.
For my part, my teaching qualification is for adult ed (post 16) so I fully anticipate upgrading/converting this to state trained qualifications and plan to do this in NZ rather than in the UK. My OH will be the principle PR applicant so I am lucky to be able to have that luxury!!
I hope everything works out for you. I do know of some teachers who got work out there and loved the educational system and environment so maybe it is worth hanging in there?
Apart from that - how do you like chch?
