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 program-mes 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, Education Outside the Classroom Education Outside the Classroom, commonly referred to as EOTC is an important part of students' learning. It is also a real strength and point of difference for Te Waka Kura o Mohua | Golden Bay High School. Year level camps at years 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 provide students with a wide range of activities and experiences that utilise the incredible natural environment that we are surrounded by. There are also curriculum subjects on offer such as Adventure Education and Outdoor Education, and extra curricular opportunities like the school’s Caving Club and Abel Tasman Youth Ambassadors (ATYA). Many other subjects take a range of trips to investigate and learn about points of interest. Health and safety considerations are the priority in EOTC. We are very fortunate to have a range of staff with New Zealand Outdoor Instructors Association (NZOIA) qualifications and extensive experience. These staff are supported by robust systems, expert contractors and parents to ensure our students get amazing opportunities and experiences from their time at school. I strongly encourage students to get involved in some of the multitude of trips that make our school an amazing place to attend and learn. Transition to High School As the school year nears it’s end, we are in the process of enrolling and transitioning our new students for 2025. This is primarily focused on current year 6 students. Thank you to all of the parents that attended the evening information session and everyone that has booked in for a one on one transition meeting. Thank you also to our feeder primary schools, Tākaka Primary School, Motupipi School and Central Tākaka School. We really appreciate the partnership to support the transition process for our tamariki. It was great to get out to each of our local schools in the past week and get the chance to meet our future students and answer some of the great questions that were asked. We look forward to welcoming you again for the Year 6 pōwhiri on Friday 13th December. If you have any questions regarding enrolment, please contact the school office. Ake ake kia kaha Jono Hay |
