Congratulations to GBHS Science teacher, Madeleine Collins, who has just been given an amazing role at the MoE (alongside her GBHS role) of Ohu Mātanga/Team Member in the content area of science for the refresh of the national curriculum!

The team consists of a small group of experts from around the country who will draft, receive feedback and finalise the science area of Te Mātaiaho.

This is an amazing opportunity both for Madeleine personally, and for the school community.

“I am so excited and slightly daunted by the task over the next year,” says Madeleine.

We are excited for you too, Madeleine, and are sure you will be an asset to the team!

Parents/Caregivers of Year 9 and Year 10 students who are receiving Awards are warmly invited to join us as we celebrate another successful year.

Green Bay High School celebrated the Long Service tenure of a number of staff yesterday, in recognition of the valuable contributions they have made to our akonga wananga (place of learning).

We strive for a culture that values and supports our students and employees. For many of our long serving staff, what began as a teacher-registration sprint, has turned into an educational marathon - and we applaud them every step of the way!

It was great to see whānau and friends coming along to share in this special moment, acknowledging the following recipients as they reached this significant milestone.

Congratulations to:
* Sandy Begg: 37 years
* Geoff Hall: 32 years

Student Leadership at Green Bay High School strives to create an inclusive and supportive environment, by allowing everyone to feel confident and empowered to be part of our school and community.

Student Leaders from 2022 and the Student Leaders for 2023 were involved in their annual Legacy Day yesterday. This event allows outgoing Student Leaders to mentor our incoming Leaders by offering guidance, experiences and a Q&A session. By the end of the day the 2023 Student Leaders had created a solid vision and formed a cohesive team.

GBHS's Student leaders (2023) are: Kate Adolph, Tom Anderson, Joe Buley, Drew Clemas, Rosie Davies, Matt Draper, Ella Dunphy, Ye Fei Han, Archie Heyward, Zach Jansen, Vihara Jayasinghe, Will McIntosh, Scott Morgan-Smith, Mika O'Neill, William Shaw, Chloe Sheppard, Caroline Tu'a, Bethan Webster, Leah Williams, Bella Wilson-Fry.

We can't wait to see them in action next year!

Residents of Pinesong, Crestwood, and Powley House were treated to some early Christmas Cheer today by GBHS’s very own Sparkly Spangles Musical Tour!

Year 10 students recently prepared vegetables, pre-packed meals and cooked a delicious hāngī as part of their assessment work. It was all hands on deck as the veggies were chopped, with meat and stuffing seasoned and placed into the kai cooker.

Mā pango, mā whero ka oti te mahi - through the red and the black the work will be done. (Whakatauki referring to everyone working together to achieve a successful outcome).

Congratulations to past GBHS pupil, Megan Bennett (2015-2019) who is off to Italy, as part of a Wright family Guggenheim Venice intern for December and January.
Megan is pictured (1st on right) with one of the Donors, David Wright. It is great to see students following their passion.

Fore! Heads up as Head of Department plays 72 holes of golf in one day!

72 holes, in one day? How can that be?

"It's a challenge where crazy people like me, and my golf partner, play 72 holes of golf in a single day,' says Head of Department (English) Mr Bacarella, who is getting ready for The Longest Day golf challenge, raising money for the Cancer Society.

Playing at his usual club, Redwood Park, Jon will tee off at sunrise (17 January 2023) and play through to sunset, making the most of daylight hours. It will take approximately 16 hours to complete. Jon has decided to take part in The Longest Day to raise funds for New Zealanders affected by cancer. The funds he raises will help support NZ Cancer Society's work in Auckland.

"It's going to be a HUGE challenge but one that we're looking forward to," says Jon. "And we're hoping our bodies hold up for it!"

Every dollar raised through The Longest Day will go towards cancer care across New Zealand, education and awareness programmes, and life-saving cancer research. If you would like to support Jon in his crazy quest, please click on the following link to donate: https://longestday.org.nz/jon-bacarella

The move from intermediate school to high school can be a significant event for our rangatahi. In order to make this change as easy as possible, GBHS runs a structured transition programme for all Year 8 students intending to come to Green Bay High School in 2023.

The visit is designed to help relieve some of the stress which can be associated with starting at a new school as well as an initial chance to begin building relationships with key people.

Today marked the start of our transition visits. Y8 students will be attending on one of the following days:
Thursday 24 November: Students from Blockhouse Bay Intermediate, Green Bay School, and other schools.
Monday 28 November: Students from Glen Eden Intermediate (Te Henga and Karekare mini schools).
Tuesday 29 November: Students from Glen Eden Intermediate (Piha and Muriwai mini schools).

We look forward to working in partnership with your family.

Y9 Leadership In Action students are about to put theory into practice, with a hike on the Whites/Marawhara Track, North Piha on Monday 28 November (11am - 3pm).

Permission forms must be handed in by the end of this week!

The trip will go ahead rain or shine, and will only be canceled due to extreme weather conditions. Any cancellation will be posted on GBHS's Website, Facebook, Instagram.

Always willing to go the extra mile, GBHS staff took part in some Market Research today, taste testing the new Splitz yoghurt range from The Collective. So what was the verdict? D.E.L.I.C.I.O.U.S !

Green Bay High School's Technology Department warmly invites whānau and friends to the annual GBHS Technology Showcase, celebrating over 60 pieces of wonderful work produced by students across all Year levels.

An awards ceremony will be taking place on Thursday 24th November at 5:00 pm to celebrate the top students in each Technology subject. The ceremony will conclude with students being able to take their projects home.

The exhibition takes place in the auditorium foyer and is open to the public from 9 am to 6 pm Wednesday 23rd November and Thursday 24th November.

This exhibition is our opportunity to recognise and celebrate the hard work and commitment demonstrated throughout the year. We look forward to seeing you!

"It's a challenge where crazy people like me, and my golf partner, play 72 holes of golf in a single day,' says Head of Department (English) Mr Bacarella, who is getting ready for The Longest Day golf challenge, raising money for the Cancer Society.

Playing at his usual club, Redwood Park, Jon will tee off at sunrise (17 January 2023) and play through to sunset, making the most of daylight hours. It will take approximately 16 hours to complete. Jon has decided to take part in The Longest Day to raise funds for New Zealanders affected by cancer. The funds he raises will help support NZ Cancer Society's work in Auckland.

"It's going to be a HUGE challenge but one that we're looking forward to," says Jon. "And we're hoping our bodies hold up for it!"

Every dollar raised through The Longest Day will go towards cancer care across New Zealand, education and awareness programmes, and life-saving cancer research.

The move from intermediate school to high school can be a significant event for our rangatahi. In order to make this change as easy as possible, GBHS runs a structured transition programme for all Year 8 students intending to come to Green Bay High School in 2023.

The visit is designed to help relieve some of the stress which can be associated with starting at a new school as well as an initial chance to begin building relationships with key people.

Today marked the start of our transition visits. Y8 students will be attending on one of the following days:
Thursday 24 November: Students from Blockhouse Bay Intermediate, Green Bay School, and other schools.
Monday 28 November: Students from Glen Eden Intermediate (Te Henga and Karekare mini schools).
Tuesday 29 November: Students from Glen Eden Intermediate (Piha and Muriwai mini schools).

We look forward to working in partnership with your family.
