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.

Tēnā koutou katoa, A well rounded education Two events that have occurred recently are the cross country and careers expo in Nelson. It was fantastic to see huge participation in the cross country, in particular the championship event. It is a rugged course truly deserving of the title. It was also great to see a large number of senior students take the opportunity to attend the careers expo and get exposure to the myriad of opportunities available to them. These two events are each part of the well rounded education that we offer at Te Waka Kura o Mohua | Golden Bay High School. While academic learning leading to meaningful pathways is undoubtedly our core business, holistically setting up students for success in their lives beyond school requires a broader focus. We are dedicated to nurturing the whole student through a rich, well-rounded curriculum designed to spark curiosity, build resilience, and uncover lifelong passions. Opportunities for this come through sports, culture, the arts, leadership, service, outdoor and environmental sustainability initiatives that build character and teamwork. By embracing these diverse experiences, our students don’t just accumulate knowledge - they develop the critical thinking, adaptability, and empathy needed to thrive in an ever-changing world. Together, we are shaping well-rounded global citizens ready to make their mark or as our school vision frames it ‘Inspiring world-ready rangatahi’. Strategic Planning The school board is currently in the process of developing a new strategic plan for 2027 - 2029. This document will guide the direction of the school in the coming years. Thank you to all of the parents, caregivers, whānau, students and staff that provided input through the consultation process. The board is now utilising that feedback to develop the plan. Once developed, the draft plan will be distributed for feedback before confirmation and adoption for the start of next year. Thank you to the board for all of the work that you do in support of the school and our students. Ake ake kia kaha Jono Hay |
