nickydwuk is on a distinguished road

Hi Spid, sounds like you will be in the position I am this year. My son will take his GCSE's this May/June and we move to NZ in September. You could look on New Zealand Ministry of Education for info on curriculum & other things education related. If you are looking for schools then try this TKI - Schools for details of schools in your area (if you know where you will be). I also contacted NZQA and they suggested he complete years 12 & 13 to gain his NCEA or enrol him in college or Uni. I have contacted the various Uni's & colleges in our area (Christchurch) and they do a foundation course (6 months) which will then allow him to take further courses including degree courses. This is the road we will go down as instead of spending 2 years at schooll & then college/Uni he can start college/Uni straight away. Hope this helps.
