As you daughter would not have completed her GCSE's she may be better going to intermediate school. As you are arriving in April you may be able to get her into year 10 in NZ as their years start in February. This means that she will finish year 10 in December instead of July in the UK. As the exams they take in NZ are different to UK it would be no bad thing. My son will be finishing year 9 and about to start year 10 when we arrive in September. I am going to see if the school will put him into year 10 the following Feb so that he starts from scratch. The schools do assess each child and it would be worth discussing it with each school to see what their take is on things.

Schools
Thanks Nicky
Looks like we will be hopefully going in April. My OH satrts his job mid March, so hopefully he will be albe to do a little research. So far we have selected three areas near Wellington for possable location, all appear to have good schools that fit the childrens needs. The more infomation and help we have the better so we can prepare list of important questions for the schools Thanks Debs  | |||||||||||||||||||||||
