STAFF AND THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES

Listed here are the Staff who work at Golden Bay High School.  In most cases, your first point of contact is your student's Class Teacher, Form Teacher or Dean. Every Head of Department (HOD) and Teacher in Charge (TIC) of a subject has special professional and administrative tasks related to the teaching of one or more subjects.
All other teachers likewise have both teaching and administrative duties, with the senior administrators having overall responsibility for various year levels.
