New to French Polynesia and looking to connect

Hello,
I am Amy and I am a 28 year old Australian who has moved to French Polynesia to accompany my partner who has a job in science. I have had no luck in finding any work in my field (school teacher) and don't know if there are jobs for me as a beginners French speaker. We live near Vairao which is almost 2 hours drive from Papeete.
Without work I have found it hard to meet anyone and I was hoping to see if like-minded expats or locals might see this forum post and maybe want to connect to get out and do fun things?
I am loving Tahiti so far! Just wish it could be a little bit more social.
Kind regards,
Amy

Nice to meet you, online! Yes he is in research. I love your suggestion and would do it, however am currently on a "visitor" visa so I think it would be illegal. I think I need a business or company to sponsor me for a work permit before I can get a working visa...
