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

Tēnā koutou katoa Congratulations to: The Theatresports teams – the juniors were first, and the seniors second, in the interschool event in Nelson. They are ably coached by Ronnie Short. Hazel Molloy – who has been selected for a Young Inspiring Explorers’ Summit, with William Pike and the Antarctic Heritage Society. Ihaka Griffiths – who has been selected to take part in the Spirit of Adventure Trust Tuia 250 Voyage Flotilla in October sailing from Mount Maunganui to Gisborne. Change to senior reports We are trialing a new approach to the second set of senior reports for the year, which come out later this term. This approach is used in a number of other Secondary schools. There will be no teacher comments in these reports. The main reason for this is to speed up the turn around time, and ensure the most up to date results are included. The second reason is to create some additional time for teachers to put into their pedagogical development. Of course parents can always contact teachers by email if they need more information about their student’s learning. There is a 2020 senior course information evening on 19th September, and senior course interviews on 24th September, which also provide opportunities for discussion. We will seek feedback after reports have been issued. Change to senior prizegiving This will be held after exams conclude on Decemeber 4th. The reason for holding this later is to include all internal assessment results in our academic prize calculations. Thank you for participating in the survey sent last term Thank you very much to all those who participated in the online survey last term. The data gathered from you, from students, from teachers, and from classroom observations has been collated and is being used to plan our next steps in professional development. With the support of Waikato University facilitators, we will be working towards a peer coaching process, where teachers coach each other in good teaching practice. If we ever have to have a lockdown We have been practising lockdown processes with some new steps learnt after Christchurch. All areas of the school now have access to emergency kits. In the event of a real lockdown, we will use email to inform you of the situation. Staff Only Day This is Monday 26th August Ake ake kia kaha Ngā mihi Linda SCHOOL UNIFORMS
