Meeting Kiwi Teachers Considering OE

With the recent torrential rain and snow, Gabby and I were pretty excited and relieved to be departing the shores of the South Island and heading for the sunny North Island meeting Kiwi Teachers.

We had an absolutely fantastic couple of days travelling around Wellington and Palmerston North, meeting Kiwi teachers, visiting universities and attending the career fair at Victoria University. But it wasn’t all work; somehow(!) we managed to fit in visits to amazing cafes, enjoyed a pint of the local craft beer and did some very cheap shopping – window shopping!

A big thank you to university staff and students for having and welcoming us. We had a great time meeting loads of teachers, from newly graduated to highly experienced ones all looking to kick start their OE.

It was wonderful to have a chance to speak to Early Years, Primary, Secondary and SEN teachers about the teaching opportunities Prospero has in the UK and UAE, as well as our sponsorship opportunities for teachers over 31.

We look forward to returning later this year for a celebration and welcome home/catch up for our returning teachers from the UK, as well as our teachers who are setting off on their overseas teaching journey.

We’re continuing our New Zealand road trip later in August with visits to Dunedin, Invercargill as well as my home town of Christchurch, where we’ll be holding more information sessions.

• Wed 23 Aug – Christchurch: Little Neighbourhood, 94 Victoria Street, Christchurch Central: 5.30- 7.30pm
• Mon 28 Aug – Tauranga: Astrolabe Brew Bar: 82 Maunganui Road Mount Maunganui: 5.30- 7.30pm
• Tues 29 Aug – Hamilton: Good George Brewing and Dining Hall, 32A Somerset St, Frankton, Hamilton: 5.30- 7.30pm
• Wed 30 Aug – Auckland: The Long Room, 114 Ponsonby Road, Ponsonby, Auckland: 5.30- 7.30pm

We’ll also be heading back to and visiting the rest of the North Island including Auckland, Tauranga and Hamilton for on campus events and information evenings.

If any of these events sound like they could be interesting or useful to you, feel free to reach out to us, either on 0800 128769, at ausnz@prosperoteaching.com or by liking our facebook page.  We will be able to give you the Dunedin and Invercargill visit details shortly.

We look forward to hearing from and meeting you somewhere in your vicinity soon.
