The first 2 years at school can be devastating for gifted kids if not catered to. Learning to hold back or underachieve, frustration at the slowness or disinterest from teachers and other students, downright resistance from even the sweetest teachers. You need to know if your child needs to be catered to differently. And be prepared to push for it against opposition.
I do not recommend Tauranga Primary school. While there is a good atmosphere and resources (except in music) they are not child centred. They believe completely in their programme as is and cannot conceive of any other provision being necessary. One day school was a day of relief in our household.
