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 Back after a good rest We have surveyed all students who were at school last Wednesday and asked them about their break, what they are looking forward to, and about concerns regarding Covid and their learning. Deans have looked closely at the data. As would be expected, many of our senior students in particular are concerned about the interruptions to their learning. On a positive note, there is much anticipation and excitement for Lipsync, which is scheduled for Week 9. Covid Cases continue We are continuing to have positive Covid cases. Thank you for keeping sick students at home and for letting us know when members of your household test positive. Adventure Racers A huge thank you to Fleur Murray and Daphne Dijk for taking 26 students to Kaikoura for the South Island Adventure Racing Championships during the break. A full report is inside this Goldie. Staff Only Day 20th May On Friday 20th May, all ‘top of the south’ Secondary Schools have a Ministry of Education Staff only Day for NCEA and curriculum change planning. One of the key foci will be the changes to literacy and numeracy requirements. Feedback from the Police Alcohol continues to cause problems for a small number of students. Breaking the law can result in hefty fines for those supplying alcohol. If you are holding a party for your teenager, make sure you are following the law. Sergeant Davies is also very concerned about the number of students taking passengers when on a restricted licence, quite often with parental knowledge. At a previous school I was Principal of three 15 year old girls died in a crash at the hands of a driver on a restricted licence – there was no alcohol, no speeding, no phone and it was light. I agree with Jono, don’t take the risk! Ake ake kia kaha Linda
