The Green Bay High School Board of Trustees have made the decision to close the school on **Monday, February 13th and Tuesday, February 14th** due to health and safety concerns with the approaching Cyclone Gabrielle. The safety of our students and staff is paramount and with the worst of the weather still to come, we wanted to make the decision early to allow everyone time to prepare. It has been a really challenging start to the school year and we want to support students to get into the rhythm of the school year, while recognising that we don’t know what the next 24-48 hours will bring for any of us. Information about online learning is outlined below, however, we understand that it may not be possible for some students. **Online learning**Work will be posted on student’s subject Google Classroom pages from 10am on Monday, February 13th. Students are encouraged to check their emails for google classroom codes. While our senior students are used to working on Google Classroom pages, we recognise that this will be tough for many of our Year 9 students who may not have met their teachers yet! Year 9 Dean Grace McCormack-Clark and Assistant Dean Lucy Hall will email a link to a loom video to support any Year 9 students who are unsure how to access their Google Classroom pages. We’ll also put the loom onto Year level class pages, for new students at other levels. Any questions around this, please contact your child’s dean: Year 9: Year 10: Year 11: Year 12: Year 13: Take care and stay safe, Ngā mihi nui, Fiona Barker PRINCIPAL Navigate - [ Home ](https://greenbayhigh.school.nz/) - [ About Us ](https://greenbayhigh.school.nz/about-us) - [ Enrolment ](https://greenbayhigh.school.nz/enrolment) - [ Learning ](https://greenbayhigh.school.nz/learning-areas) Contact Contact us: [https://greenbayhigh.school.kiwi/contact\_us](https://greenbayhigh.school.kiwi/contact_us)Green Bay High School 143 - 161 Godley Road, Green Bay Auckland 0643 New Zealand PO BOX 80002 | | | |---|---| | Tel | [+64 9 817 8173](tel:+6498178173) | | Absences | [Ext. 234 or press ‘1’ (one)](tel:+6498178173,234) | | Email | | | CONTACT US | [https://greenbayhigh.school.kiwi/contact\_us](https://greenbayhigh.school.kiwi/contact_us) | For contact details of individual staff, including Year level deans, please navigate to our [staff directory](https://greenbayhigh.school.nz/about-us/staff) Kōtuitui Community Green Bay High School is proudly part of the Kōtuitui community of learning, a learning network of 12 West Auckland schools.
