A supermoon occurs three or four times a year when the full moon is as close to Earth as it can get. On Thursday night (31 August 2023) the moon was approximately 20,000km closer to Earth than usual. This is the first time the astronomical phenomenon has appeared in our skies in 14 years. The photograph shown above was taken by Zev, through his telescope. What an amazing sight! 1st September 2023 at 9:40am ![NZ Writers](https://greenbayhigh.school.nz/images/5/b/f/f/a/5bffacc06a7cd14a3e058bab05dfec185902d13b-nz-writers.jpg "NZ Writers") Writers in Schools Read NZ 22nd August 2023 at 9:30am [Writers in Schools Read NZ 22nd August 2023 at 9:30am](https://greenbayhigh.school.nz/news/term-3-2023/writers-in-schools) ![student services](https://greenbayhigh.school.nz/images/2/9/5/4/6/295465e221259ddbfb2c1c9ea9ed3baf4a8fb007-student-services.jpg "student services") Winter Wellness Ministry of Health 2nd June 2023 at 9:10am [Winter Wellness Ministry of Health 2nd June 2023 at 9:10am](https://greenbayhigh.school.nz/news/term-3-2023/winter-wellness) ![NZSS winter sports](https://greenbayhigh.school.nz/images/b/2/2/a/4/b22a45bde27dc7a49a028aa97c7b0a1b58eae1e9-nzss-winter-sports.jpg "NZSS winter sports") Winter Tournament Week 2023 Go GBHS Go! 25th August 2023 at 9:30am [Winter Tournament Week 2023 Go GBHS Go! 25th August 2023 at 9:30am](https://greenbayhigh.school.nz/news/term-3-2023/winter-tournament-week-2023) ![Winter Sports](https://greenbayhigh.school.nz/images/8/d/d/2/a/8dd2ac705dd6018f2937049ad91343e90a8c70f6-netball.jpg "Winter Sports") Winter Tournament Week Sports Roundup 1st September 2023 at 9:05am [Winter Tournament Week Sports Roundup 1st September 2023 at 9:05am](https://greenbayhigh.school.nz/news/term-3-2023/winter-tournament-week) ![aut grads](https://greenbayhigh.school.nz/images/c/2/b/0/b/c2b0b2847cce82e9b6249a0612414c2647608401-google-image-search-aut-graduation.jpg "aut grads") Whānau Information Sheet (2024) Helping your child (Course Planning) 4th August 2023 at 8:45am [Whānau Information Sheet (2024) Helping your child (Course Planning) 4th August…](https://greenbayhigh.school.nz/news/term-3-2023/whanau-information-sheet-2024) ![te ahi ka](https://greenbayhigh.school.nz/images/4/8/c/9/a/48c9a7ef5d48d601920644b6c537e611a4667064-te-ahi-ka.jpg "te ahi ka") Whānau Hui Te Angitu Ngātahi -
