As part of their school Service Council responsibilities, Bailey and Olivia lead by example and actively work towards promoting manaakitanga to show kindness, respect, and support to effect positive change. Give A Kid A Blanket distributes donated items to those in need, working alongside local health and social agencies including Police, Public Health Nurses, Community and Social workers. Pre-loved (or new) items that are in clean and good condition can be dropped off the GBHS's main office, or to our Student Services reception. Items may include new and excellent condition pre-loved blankets, duvets, sleeping bags, jumpers, beanies, socks ... think about what makes you warm and cosy and share the love! Give a Kid a Blanket has launched its winter appeal to help keep families warm across Tāmaki Makaurau, and is a Community Activated Art Action conceived and led by artists Donna Turtle Sarten & Bernie Harfleet, situated in the Corban Estate Arts Centre, Henderson. Bailey and Olivia will take all donated items collected from Green Bay High School's community directly to the Give A Kid A Blanket 'warehouse' to see first-hand the scope of demand and need. **Collected items will be boxed up and taken at the end of Term 2/Week 6 (Friday 7 June, 2024).** 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.
