It's the lovely, lovely month of May and the UK is alive with events.   The SANZA team are getting excited about the long warm days ahead and of course meeting the new teachers who have registered with our overseas SANZA representative's in Australia and New Zealand.

At the end of May our schools will let us know about the positions that will be available for September 2008. If you have been thinking about a change, a new school, or re-locating, now is the time to let the SANZA team know.

We look forward to hearing from you.

PLANNING YOUR TRAVEL TO THE UK - TERM DATES 

Here at SANZA we know how important it is to get your travel plans to the UK right! The UK summer school holidays are 6 weeks long and arriving in July means immediate teaching options may be limited. However it's a great time to travel around Europe! Here are the next two term dates coming up for the UK!

Please note - every school may have slightly different dates.   Please check with your SANZA consultant or your school before you book a trip!

If you do arrive in the summer holidays SANZA can still help you find work as we have several companies we work with each summer to create jobs to see you through to the start of the next school year. We have also created the list below of holiday positions that may help to keep the pounds rolling in, while the schools are closed.

• Nannying in the UK (try TNT magazine)
• Nannying abroad (europlacements)
• Resort work
• Local borough holiday programmes (contact your consultant to find out which is your closest borough)
• Home help for elderly
• Paintball
• Admin work (some recommended agencies are: Adecco, Office Angels, Kelly's) General summer work

EGYPT FELUCCA TRIP

Most of the SANZA staff have now been on the famous and infamous 'felucca tour' of Egypt and finally after much recommendation and great stories I have experienced it myself.
It's absolutely Amazing! The best tour I've been on by a Nile...first day was spent relaxing at the pool before we set off for a further 8 days starting in Cairo with the phenomenal Pyramids then on the overnight train to Aswan where we start the ever popular felucca sail down the Nile. This exceeded my expectations on service, fun and incredible sites, we had a fantastic group of people on tour & our guide 'Sem Sem' really made the trip. Like all things good the felucca had to come to a close with an encore of partying including belly dancing and stripping, which I'm happy to say our team felucca A 'braveheart' won.

It just got better and sometimes words cannot describe the amazement of sites dating back so far, the Temples, Valley of the Kings and beautiful Luxor. Our journey continued with a visit to one of the most important museums in the world, the Egyptian Museum, which houses more than 100.000 relics of ancient Egypt. This is where we saw Tutankhamen's tomb, gold coffins and mask which is so famously recognized. One thing which is a must is to pay extra to see the mummies, King Ramses II, 2300BC. It's pretty special, a must see for yourself!

A good time to go is in April as the weather is great. Lots of tour company's provide great service and incredible experiences such as Traveltalk, On the Go and Topdeck. If you happen to book with Topdeck there is a special offer for all SANZA Teachers with 10% off all trips!
