For our new students and staff, this marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter. At Green Bay High School, our vision 'Te Angitu Ngātahi - Succeeding Together' sits at the heart of all we do, reminding us that success is shared and grounded in achievement, belonging, wellbeing, and growth. I am delighted to welcome our new staff and teacher trainees to our school this year, who bring with them a wide range of experience and enthusiasm to our community. I am really looking forward to welcoming back all returning students in Years 10-13 on Monday, 2 February. It is always great to feel the energy and buzz our students bring across the school. Just a reminder that all students will begin the day in Form class. (Year 10, 11, 12, 13 students are advised to login to the [Web Portal](https://greenbayhigh.school.kiwi) to check their Timetable and Form class). I look forward to hearing the summer stories and beginning the year with confidence, care, and a shared sense of purpose. Nau mai, haere mai ki Green Bay High School. I wish everyone a positive and rewarding year ahead.
