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. 
12 December 2025 - From the Principal, Jono Hay
Tēnā koutou katoa, Welcome to the final Goldie Newsletter for 2025. Reflection on 2025 As 2025 is coming to an end, it is a good opportunity to reflect on the year that has been. This includes what has gone well, what could have gone better and key learnings. Thank you to everyone in our school community for your support of Te Waka Kura o Mohua | Golden Bay High School and our students throughout 2025. Our students are fortunate to have a myriad of opportunities available to them with local volunteers running clubs and organisations across a wide range of fields. Thank you to our local employers and organisations that allow us to provide courses, careers experience and employment pathways. Acknowledging the age old adage ‘it takes a village to raise a child’, our rangatahi are very fortunate to grow up in such a supportive and active community. Thank you to our staff for all of their commitment and dedication and finally, thank you and well done to our students for another successful and positive year of learning and growth. It is a pleasure working with you and supporting you on your journey through and beyond school. Mihi Whakatau - Welcome to year 7 2026 As we farewelled a cohort of senior students at our end of year ceremony, it is also time to welcome a new group of students into year 7, 2026. We do this with a mihi whakatau. This is an opportunity for our current students to welcome the new students and their whānau into our school community. Thank you to everyone involved in this event and to our local primary schools for handing over their year 6 students and entrusting them to us. Year 9 and 10 Activities In recent weeks, year 9 and 10 students have been out and about making the most of the summer weather. Hampered by weather, the year 9 students three day camp was reduced to a day trip of kayaking, caving and rock climbing. Thank you to all of the staff and parents that supported this day out. Year 10 students have been sea kayaking, tramping, mountain biking and exploring some of the local environment. Thank you to the staff that have organised and run these trips and to the parents that have helped and supported. I wish everyone a safe and happy holiday break and look forward to reconnecting in the new year. Meri Kirihimete me te Hape Nū Ia. Ake ake kia kaha Jono Hay |
