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 Consultation on rule change – Proposal to ban any cellphone use for years 7-11 from start 2024 Thank you to the many whānau who have responded. It is not too late. Please see the email sent by me on 22nd August with a link to a google form. If for some reason you do not have it please email me. I have been asked to publish the graduated consequences. This is what we are currently thinking, though if the rule is put in place by the BoT, staff will need to work on the finer details. Whānau would have the option of collecting the phone ‘earlier’ themselves if confiscated. 1st time: warning and email home 2nd time: phone confiscated for 24 hours and email home 3rd time: phone confiscated for a week and email home 4th time: Whānau asked to come in, collect phone and meet with year level Dean or SLT to come up with a plan to ensure the phone is not used at school. School Exams Our senior students are in the middle of their school exams. We hope to have these exams marked and results back to students by the end of the term, though the timeline is very tight, as they need to be marked and then moderated. Thank you for supporting your student. Studying is hard, and encouragement makes a difference. Years 12 & 13 had a talk from Karen Boyes recently. Karen had three study tips she shared: #1 Use colour with notes #2 Concentrate on what you don’t know #3 Study for 20 minutes then have a 5 minute break. Non uniform dress code The BoT recently reviewed the non uniform dress code, working closely with senior students. We have included the updated code in the Goldie newlsetter. Congratulations to Gonzalo Vasquet-Jouannet Gonzalo has been selected in the Nelson Marlborough U17 Youth Football Team that is competing in the National Youth League! Ka pai, Gonzalo!
