Tauranga New Zealand
Hi
We are thinking of emigrating to Tauranga. Wondered if anyone could give us any info on the place. We have 2 children aged 5 (boy) and girl aged 13. Could you recommend any good schools for them?
Thanks Steve

Do a search on here and in the Oz/Nz immigration forum for "firing1" he and his family migrated to Tauranga - was in a tv programme about their move and has written a book on the subject - should get heaps of info that way and also if you pm him.
good luck

Tauranga is a nice place its close to the beach which is called Mount Maunganui (pronounced Mong ga noo ee) which is the main attraction to that area in general thats where me and Graham go when we go to the beach for the day. Its known just as "The Mount" when talking to people Tauranga is just another pretty ish town but its " The Mount" that is the attraction which is about 15 minutes away. Sorry I cant help you with info on schools or anything its not a huge city or anything tho and I dont think shopping would compare to anything in the UK either but it seems sufficient for the locals. The best shopping area is a complex called Bayfair which pretty much is the main one. Check out Papamoa too if you come over, its flash with a nice beach and lots of new houses are going up all the time. Its probably bout 20 minutes from the mount. Have fun in the sun 
you wont be dissapointed. (except maybe in the winter) Bye and good luck. Catherine.

Hi Steve,
check out my site www.newlifeinnz.bravehost.com for more info. Schools here are good and Zoe is at Mount Maunganui Intermediate. Tauranga is growing fast and the beach lifestyle is great in the summer. Population is just over 100,000 and there is plenty for the kids to do. Any questions drop me an email.
