study in Australia or New Zealand

meiwan

Any suggestion whether it is better to study in Australia or in New Zealand for secondary school? My sons are 10
years old and are studying in local school but English is
bad.  I am struggling where should I send them to.  (I hv no friends or relative in both countries).

Dear vic.pretty,

Thank you for your information.

Dear vic.pretty,

My son's english is not good, do you think he can apply a good secondary in Australia?  Is there any assessment
before applying the school?  Is it a good decision to send
him in F.1.

Sorry for so many questions!

如果你問我，我會話你聽，nz 好過aust，因aust 環境好多華人，nz 會係純樸d

Which city in NZ did you stay?

Is it difficult to get in a good secondary school if my son's english is not good?  Any assessment before applying the boarding school?

Hope you can give me some information.  Thank you.

我係stay 係AUCKLAND
nz 的中學通常都係分男學校和女學校
如果男學校，AUCKLAND BOY GRAMMAR SCHOOL 係幾出名的學校，佢未去到貴族學校的GRADE，但出黎學生都不錯
但如果你係OVERSEA身份去搵學校，咁就要睇下佢同貴族學校差幾多學費，如果唔係好多，咁去貴族學校讀會係好D


如果讀大學，AUCKLAND U 會係最多人入的學校，但如果你係讀其他醫學科目，咁就南島的大學比較好，所以要睇你讀咩...

因我住CITY 附近，所以知道依兩間學校都唔錯

Hi esse,

Thank you for your info.

Is there any assessment for applying these schools? My
son's english is not good (that is why I want to send him aboard so early because most of my friends said that it is better to send him after F.3 but I think the requirement
for F.3 will be more than for a P.6 student)

How did you get in the school (through agent or by
yourself)?  If you are through agent, can you let me know whether it is good or not.

Sorry for too many questions!!

Hi esse,

我都正計畫比阿仔到nz讀中學Year 9 (寄宿) , 明年中..agent介紹了兩間1."Gisborn Boys High School 或 2. Wanganui City College 請問您知唔知道這兩間學校在那呢? 我都幾擔心因為沒有親人在nz. 您說的AUCKLAND BOY GRAMMAR SCHOOL收生要求嚴格嗎? 有冇(寄宿)? 先謝謝您的資料呀!

如沒朋友or親戚係nz，咁auckland 會係最好的地方~因飛機場係auckland，而且因華人比較多，你地去探佢，會容易安排同方便

Gisborn Boys High School <--係Gisborn, 唔係auckland，如由auckland 去Gisborn, 我諗要4-5個鐘車程

Wanganui City College仲要遠......

AUCKLAND BOY GRAMMAR SCHOOL 有寄宿，你可以問下，
agent 幫你地睇的學校都好遠，而且係無咩華人去的town 黎架!!

我自己本來係oversea，之後屋企移民就變左公民~~

除左寄宿，nz 有d 外國人會收oversea student 寄宿係佢地屋企，華人會有，我地會叫依d做"home stay". 有時學校可以幫你地安排依個服務

如果你地仲想知auckland 有咩男校，我可以再search下~~

如果你地想看 nz 的map，可以去依到睇睇，咁就會有個概念知道個位置係邊

請問留學new zealand 會唔會平過留學澳洲? 我家姐有意俾佢囝囝留學perth,唔知new zealand會唔會係一個更好既選擇呢?

0係new zealand讀完書,想0係當地搵工作難唔難?

sorry 我有好多問題想請教esse
我個仔出年08Feb會去Whangaparaoa
School study year 1
(08年他剛好7 years old)

1. Is this school good?
2. 我brother + sister in law係公民, 因他們的BB is going to
deliver in Mar 08, so they call my Mum to take care the
baby next year. My Mum is going to stay for more than 3 years. (他們說用3個月旅遊visa入境, then 再出信話she needs to take care for the new born baby etc....very easy to
extend the visa in that case for my Mum) Now the
problem is my son always stay with my Mum, thats why he is going to stay in NZ also. The school take his offer,
but when I go to Embrass  to apply the student visa for
my son for a year, they need to see my bank statement
for more that 3 months to see my financial support. All of my money is in malaysia (We are malaysian). So I
transferred the money 30000NZ (Is it enough?) in HK in
Oct 07. That meant I only can apply the student visa in
late Jan (too late). My son air ticket on the 07 Jan 08. So my son also take 3 months journey visa and take the 1st sem in that school. My brother will do the student visa for him to extend in NZ. 唔好意思, 打咁鬼長, 我都係想問is it
easy in my son case? We are going to use the reason of
trial study in 1st sem, now he like it very much, so would
like to apply for 9 more months.)
