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 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. 
13 September 2024 - From the Principal, Jono Hay
Tēnā koutou katoa, Te wiki o te reo Māori Nau mai ki te pānui o tēnei wiki. E mihi ana tātou ki te Wiki o te Reo Māori a te wiki e tū mai nei. Welcome to this week's newsletter as we acknowledge the upcoming Māori language week. I encourage all of us to challenge ourselves to use some te reo Māori every day this week and support the revitalisation of our beautiful language. This is a movement that is continuing to gain momentum across Aotearoa. At Te Waka Kura o Mohua - Golden Bay High School, we are proud of the progress that we are making in growing our student and staff capability in karakia, waiata, haka and te reo Māori. This is complemented by the ongoing journey of understanding the history and pūrākau of Mohua and strengthening our partnership with local iwi through Manawhenua ki Mohua. Ake ake ake kia kaha te reo Māori. School Exams All the best to our senior students in years 11, 12 and 13 as they undertake school exams. In addition to encouraging your child to create a plan for their time and study, please also support them with taking initiative in ensuring clarity on what is to be learnt and assessed this week and for the remainder of the year. This will reinforce the messaging from teachers in all subjects. An up to date picture of progress towards NCEA qualifications can be found through the KAMAR parent portal. You can contact the office for help with logging in if required. Winter Tournament Week Winter tournament was a huge success with four teams away - netball, U15 rugby, girls football and boys football. It was my pleasure to travel around and watch each team compete. All students represented themselves and the school in exemplary fashion and displayed the school values of manaakitanga, whanaungatanga, wairuatanga and kaitiakitanga. Some outstanding results were achieved along the way with many matches closely contested and in many cases won against much, much larger schools. Congratulations in particular to the netball team that won their grade with a 37-27 win over Oxford Area School in the final at Ngā Puna Wai in Christchurch. Thank you to all of the coaches, managers, staff and parent helpers that allow these events to occur. They provide memorable experiences for our students. Thank you also to our community for all of the support provided to the fundraising efforts of these groups. Ake ake kia kaha Jono Hay |
