Most senior students are focused on preparing for the upcoming external exams and there has been a real sense of purpose across the school. English teachers Renee McGlashan and Rose Woolford, with the help of the English Faculty, have put together a [Study Skills resource](https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1rLZoMF0PLYAnQssS2HMM08ACSbxMEeWD4QUQIvwaCq4/edit?usp=sharing) to help students find strategies that work for them. For the first time, Green Bay High School has become eligible to opt into the school donation system. There’s an important message in [this week's newsletter](https://greenbayhigh.school.nz/newsletters/2022/term-4-2022-news-report-21-october-2022) from Board of Trustees Chairperson Norm Wallace, which gives more information about the system and asks for your feedback about whether you think GBHS should opt in or not. Please take the time to fill in the very brief survey, so that the Board has information about what our GBHS community thinks. Thanks for all your continued support and have a great Labour weekend.
