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.

FROM THE ACTING PRINCIPAL CORALIE STOPFORD Tēnā koutou katoa We have had a very busy two weeks learning in and out of the physical classrooms. Some of which you will read more about in this newsletter. I would like to share some of these experiences with you: Our Student Executive participated in a Top Of The South Leadership Forum. They joined other student leaders to learn about actionable leadership skills, collaborate with other student leaders and add to their kete tools to be effective leaders in our school. Feedback has been very positive, identifying some key aspects - collaboration between schools, wellbeing seminar, and effective communication techniques. Pink Shirt Mufti day and activities led by the Student Exec, raising awareness and helping to stamp out bullying by celebrating diversity and promoting kindness and inclusion. The focus for this year was around the role of an upstander and what each person can do to be a great upstander in our school and wider community. Abel Tasman Youth Ambassadors (ATYA) had their Term 2 field trip to Anchorage with a focus on searching for and learning about fungi. (see photo on this page) They had close encounters with the Kaka that was reintroduced to Bark Bay at an earlier event (where previous ambassadors were present for the release of Kaka). ATYA provides students a unique platform and supportive environment for aspiring young conservation leaders to develop and grow. Project Janszoon and Mr MacKenzie work very hard to make being part of ATYA a fun and rewarding experience. This group of students are very committed and dedicated, working mostly in the Abel Tasman National Park area. Staff Only Day & Public Holiday A reminder that we have a Staff Only Day on Friday 2 June (tomorrow) where the school will be closed. This leads into the King’s Birthday weekend with Monday 5th June being a Public Holiday. Ake ake kia kaha Coralie |
