I am going on a location recce in July/Aug with my husband and kids so if anyone has any suggestions as to where to go I would be very pleased to hear from you.

Apparently there's a paper called the 'education gazette' - see if you can get hold of a copy of that.

On locations - have a browse through the previous posts. There are a few discussions about Tauranga/New Plymouth/Hawkes Bay and of course Auckland/Christchurch/Wellington to name but a few.

One great thing with teaching - you won't be forced to stay in the 'big (well, comparatively) 3'.

And July/August is a great time to be looking for work in education, as our school year starts in Jan/Feb so you'll have a bit of time to get sorted!
