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.

Aotearoa Support Staff Day We are extremely fortunate to have fantastic non teaching staff at GBHS. Teachers were pleased to be able to acknowledge our colleagues on 12th June with scrumptious cake. Teacher Paid Union Meeting – Wed 26 June – will not impact your student’s classes PPTA has called a paid union meeting to decide whether to ratify their collective agreement offer. This will be on Wednesday 26th June. Our branch has chosen a time which means student learning is not impacted. As for all cycle 2 Wednesdays, supervision will be provided for those remaining at school beyond 2.15pm. Adventure Racing student and parent meeting – 2nd July A meeting of students involved in adventure racing, and their parents, will be held on Tuesday 2nd July at 5pm in the school library. The main purpose will be to discuss the various 2020 events, and preparation for them. This will include how a coach is selected, the training squad, and selection of members for the finals team. 21st century ‘soft skills’ As part of our Vision for Design (for the property project) we have been consulting internally with students, parents, the BoT and staff about the soft skills we believe our students need to develop. The next stage is talking with mana whenua, and then we will hold a meeting for the public. It is challenging to whittle the long list of potential skills into a short list! These will sit alongside our motto and values. To date we are thinking..... but this is a work in progress! Motto: ake ake kia kaha Values: respect, kindness, passion, creativity Foundation skills: literacy, numeracy, digi skills, cultural competency, critical thinking Qualities: strong work ethic, resilience, sociability, openminded Your feedback would be very welcome.
