We have three sons aged 14,12, and 9 and a daughter 4 and we are due to emigrate to Wellington by this June-August. My biggest concern is the 14yr old football mad son who is against this move. I need to place him where soccer is taken seriously and where there are plenty of opportunity for him to play/join a decent team. As I am (according to him) ruining his whole life and future career as a professional player etc., I need to find a right place or he will give me sheer hell for the next few months or more!!
I am due to start work at Wellington Hospital so the school/football team etc hopefully would be near my work place. I am prepared to commute as I do now - I drive 25 miles each way now.
Can anybody out there give me some advice as to which school is best or team to join? What area would it be? We haven't sorted temp accomodation or anything as yet. Any advice greatly appreciated.
