Default Moving to Tauranga

Hello there.

Sorry I originally posted this in the "general forum" and discovered there is a new zealand one! My bad!

So, I've just applied for a teaching job in Tauranga.

I'm in my early 20s and have lived in Hong Kong, Scotland and now Dunedin.

If you are from Tauranga or is new there, would you mind leaving a message here so I know that you guys are out there?

I'd love to meet some new friends from the area!

Thanks!

Hi Jen,

What school are you teaching at? It's great to know another teacher there! I've actually applied for a job at Montessori@Bethlehem, still waiting to hear back from them. Have you heard of the school?

Thanks!

Hey!

That's exciting news. Where will you be moving from? I'm not quite in Tauranga yet but if I'm lucky enough to move there I shall check the place out and let you know

Hiya ,
We'll be moving from UK , its a big step . We have 3 daughter so lots to sort out with school . Would be good to hear from you once you have moved to tell us how your getting on . You never know you might even end up teaching my girls . Bethlehem school is a nice school so is tauranga primary school from what we saw last year when we visited . Good luck and keep us posted on your progress
Michelle

I work as a high school teacher over in Te Puke. Yeah, I have heard of the school over in Bethlehem. Like all schools here, there is so much choice and variety that you can't go far wrong

If there's any advice you need, let me know. Fingers crossed for you...

Good luck gals/guys. If I was ever going to move from where I am now, Tauranga would be the place I would choose. Mt Maunganui beach is the best in NZ, I think.

Also moving to Tauranga, solo, in the near future, visa pending, job waiting!

Mid twenties wanting a new start somewhere different, been in North of England forever and need to spread my wings.

Let us know on here where you decide to settle and how it's going, all the best
