J&SR, state-integrated schools don't have zones like public schools do. Just email them to ask about the school anyway
http://www.mcglashan.school.nz/contacts/ The website is a good way to check out the school too.
Public schools on the other hand have very strict zones. Unless you choose Columba (and I'm not pushing for you to), the primary school will depend on where live. (Or where you live will depend on the primary school you choose!). I still strongly recommend Maori Hill School.
Hi ralf-nz, why do you disagree with the statement? What do you think are the nicest suburbs in Dunedin? Do you disagree the reasons I gave?
(That they are family-friendly, and filled with beautiful character houses on tree-lined streets. They're both right above the city, a very short commute to work and the main shopping area (including Merdian and the Golden Centre and Wall Street malls and New World Centre City supermarket). Many of the houses are very affordable. The best schools are all nearby. Maori Hill School itself is the best public primary.)
