At Te Waka Kura o Mohua 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 programs 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, School Uniform Over the past two years, a piece of work has been undertaken reviewing the design and supply of our school uniform. This work is nearing completion. The school uniform hoody is in production and should be available for purchase early in term 4. The design for the blazer has been approved and a decision around the design of the Physical Educational top is imminent. All of the updated items such as the white blouse and polo shirt will be available from the start of the 2027 school year. A key change in the supply of school uniform will be the introduction of a website. This website will be specifically for our school where parents can purchase and pay for a uniform and have it delivered directly. The web platform will be live from early term 4 with the link emailed out in due course. Students will still be able to try on uniform items here at school for sizing. The school will also hold stock of common items in popular sizes for purchase. While the school blazer is optional, students that wish to wear one will be able to purchase or hire from the school. There will also be a short term hire option for specific one off events. Thank you to everyone that has provided feedback throughout this uniform review process. It has been hugely appreciated. Golden Bay Sports Awards The Golden Bay Sports Awards 2026 are coming up on 31st October and Te Waka Kura o Mohua | Golden Bay High School is the fortunate recipient of the fundraising for this year’s event. The funds raised will be put towards improving the school pool changing rooms. These facilities are well used by the school, local swimming club and community keyholders. Thank you to the organising committee for all of their work preparing for the event and everyone in the community that supports the sports awards with sponsorship, donations, helping out and attending on the night. Tickets are now on sale and available from NBS Takaka, Collingwood Tavern or by emailing [email protected] School Ball The Senior School Ball was held on Friday 18th September. It was a fantastic evening and well attended. This year’s event was held in the School Hall. There was a great atmosphere with the hall transformed through clever decoration and local band LubriKator providing a series of music classics to keep everyone dancing. Well done to the organising committee for their planning, preparation and execution of this event. Ake ake kia kaha Jono Hay |
