WELCOME TO GOLDEN BAY HIGH SCHOOL
At Golden Bay High School students prepare for the future by learning the skills and knowledge, and developing the personal resources, that are needed to live satisfying and balanced lives.
We cater for all students, whatever their needs. Part of our philosophy is to take into account the interests and abilities of each student. We devise individual programmes to support maximum learning where necessary. Please contact us if you need any further assistance - we would love to hear from you. Ake Ake Kia Kaha. Latest NewsFrom the Principal - 8 May 2013
A very warm welcome back to school for the start of Term 2.
New Deputy Principal: A whole school powhiri was held on Monday to welcome our new Deputy Principal Mrs Deb Marsden, her husband James and daughters Mieke, Sophie and Abby. Mrs Marsden comes to us from Te Aroha College in the Waikato and has a teaching background in English, Health and Counselling. In addition to her senior management responsibilities, she will be teaching Year 8 and 9 Health classes and is involved in Year 7 and 8 Sport. We all wish her a long and happy time at Golden Bay High School. ANZAC Day: Some of our senior students again stepped up and made important contributions to ANZAC Day ceremonies. Oliver Bailey read the poem “In Flanders Fields” at the dawn service and Emily Markman delivered her impressive speech, giving a young person’s perspective and themed around the same poem, at the civil service. Emily had earlier in the year gained 2nd place with her speech in the regional section of the RSA’s Cyril Bassett VC speech competition. Vari Petterson, Lydia Freeman and Bonnie Cottle served as flag bearers at this service and Leia Jones laid a wreath on behalf of the school. School Buildings: The demolition project is at last nearing completion and this week the boiler has been re-fired in preparation for colder weather. Some peripheral sealing, behind the boiler house to create additional car parking and a hard surface for student bicycle stands, is still to be done. The newly sown grass area which covers most of the footprint of the demolished building will require some landscaping, as will the areas around the new prefab classroom blocks. Generous funding from the school reunion committee will support this. Staff and students have contributed suggestions for the landscaping and anyone else who may have ideas around this can contact me either by phoning the school office, or , more effectively, by email: roger@gbh.school.nz The school assembly hall is now being painted as the first stage in bringing the whole school into the new exterior colour scheme. Teacher-Only Day: To support the final stages in aligning NCEA to the national curriculum document, the Minister of Education has again granted all secondary schools two ‘NCEA’ teacher-only days this year. The first of these will be held on Tuesday 4 June, (the day after the Queen’s Birthday holiday) and will enable our teachers to work with same subject teachers in schools across the Nelson and Tasman region. It means that on that day, the school will be closed to all students. I will send a reminder out closer to the date and apologise in advance for any convenience that this may cause families. My best wishes to everyone for a happy, healthy and productive term. Roger File Board of Trustees Report - 18 March 2013
