Golden Bay High School aims for all students to achieve to their potential, in a supportive, guidance-centred learning environment.

We have high expectations for academic success of all our students, and complement academic learning with very strong sporting, outdoor recreational, and artistic and cultural programmes.

Our strengths are the flexible and committed teaching staff, the diversity and friendliness of our students, and our ability to take advantage of all that the superb environment of Golden Bay has to offer.

THE VISION OF GOLDEN BAY HIGH SCHOOL

1.

Design and deliver the best possible teaching and learning programmes within the Curriculum Framework, that will take into account the ability and interests of all students, and will stimulate a culture of learning and a spirit of inquiry.

2.

Ensure that students develop an understanding of the history, and social, economic, cultural and physical environment of Mohua/Golden Bay and Aotearoa/New Zealand, including its global context.

3.

Provide all students with the opportunity to achieve to their potential and to put programmes in place that will challenge and extend them.  This will include identifying barriers to learning, and putting individual programmes in place for students who have difficulty making progress.

4.

Assist students to build their own intrinsic motivation and assist them to develop physical and mental well-being.

5.

Assist students to acquire knowledge, skills, attitudes and values needed to be responsible people, and help them research and plan further study, work and lifestyle options.

6.

Foster a respectful school community that is based on mutual trust, honest communication, co-operative relationships and concern for others.  Each person will be encouraged to accept responsibility for their own behaviour and well-being.

7.

Incorporate the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi into the learning culture, to assist students to value Maori language and culture, and to work with the local Maori community.

MISSION STATEMENT

At Golden Bay High School students prepare for the future by learning skills and gaining knowledge, and developing the personal resources that are needed to live satisfying, balanced and responsible lives.
