An Introduction

A few tips to help you out about moving to New Zealand.

You can prepare yourself for the move to NZ by talking to others who have come before you.
Research as much as you can on the internet.
You need to be a little adventurous and open minded – as the move to NZ will be a big change for you.
The better prepared you are, the more you will understand the process of ‘Culture Shock’ or ‘Cultural Adjustment’ that everyone goes through. It is quite normal to feel really ‘out of your comfort zone’ for some time.
Go easy on yourself and talk to those around you and to your support people at your school.
