Auckland Campus
New Zealand
(Aotearoa Land of the Long White Cloud)
New Zealand is made up of two main islands, the North Island and the South Island, and has a population of 4 million people, three quarters of whom live in the North Island. The capital city is Wellington, which is located on the southern tip of the North Island. New Zealand is a unique country with beautiful scenery and friendly people. New Zealand is a parliamentary democracy offering a safe political environment for international students and visitors. It is primarily a European culture with a strong Maori cultural heritage. New Zealand has absorbed many of the rich and historic cultural elements from the Maori and Pacific Island heritages and now from its rapidly growing multi-cultural Asian communities. The following internet sites can help with more information about living in New Zealand: www.newzealand.com/International/ www.newzealandeducated.com/
Auckland is New Zealands largest city. Over 1.5 million people live in the greater Auckland area, which represents about one third of the population of the whole country. Auckland has been ranked the best city in the Asia Pacific area and the 3rd best city in the world to live in, by the 2011 Mercers Quality of Living Survey. Auckland is built on a narrow isthmus between two harbours, and is surrounded by extinct volcanoes and picturesque islands. The climate is temperate, with warm summers (averaging 12 to 24C) and cooler winters (averaging 9 to 16C). The summer months are from December to March. Auckland is also the gateway to New Zealand for tourism and immigration. You can find out more about Auckland by visiting this website: www.aucklandnz.com/ Tauranga
Auckland
The Western Bay of Plenty, home of the city of Tauranga, is in the enviable position of being the fastest growing area in New Zealand. The Western Bay of Plenty is also one of New Zealands most sought after locations in which to teach, resulting in teachers of a very high calibre and excellent local facilities. Excellent education facilities and a superb recreational lifestyle ensure the international students are served well. Ask New Zealanders where they would most like to live and theyll tell you Tauranga. And it shows, with over 100 people moving to the region every week. The regions economic growth is also high, topping the country for the last two years. Many international students find part-time work in the orchards, ranging from horticulturists to fruit pickers and packers. There are also hospitality jobs available in cafes, restaurants and hotels. Tauranga will soon be New Zealands fourth largest city.
Hastings
The two cities are known as The Bay Cities and are within 20 km of each other in Hawkes Bay. They have a combined population of over 124,400, making the combined urban area the fifth-largest by population in New Zealand. Hawkes Bay is commonly referred to as the Fruit Bowl of New Zealand and is New Zealands largest food growing region with a wide range of produce. The region is famous for its stone fruit, vegetables, and wineries. Many students find part-time work within the horticulture industry and associated businesses including food processing, agricultural services and logistics. The service industry and tourism sectors are also growing rapidly. The Hawkes Bay has almost twice the sunshine hours (2,090 hours) in comparison to the Bay of Plenty Tauranga (1,214 hours) ensuring a longer period for seasonal work opportunities.
