Upholding School Values

krishan

Green Bay High School takes pride in acknowledging and celebrating students who achieve their goals

Prestigious Scholarships and Awards are announced at the conclusion of each school year.

Year 13 students have a formal Graduation occasion at the end of the year, with invited guests from University and Tertiary institutions awarding successful recipients with a range of tertiary packages and/or scholarships. Sporting Excellence Awards are presented during an annual Sports Dinner, recognising our top sports-people and their commitment to representing Green Bay High School on a local, national and international arena.

To be eligible for any of the awards at Green Bay High School, the nominated student must have consistently conducted themselves in a manner reflective of the school values.

The recipient will have demonstrated significant service to the school:

Which significantly impacts upon a wide cross-section of the school community
For a significant and sustained period of time
That is likely to be in more than one area
Not necessarily connected to a formal student leadership role
That embodies the school values

Want to know more? Please see your dean for more information, or contact Deputy Principal Sandy Begg.

Pink Shirt Day
Join us on Friday 20 May, 2022 as we Kōrero Mai, Kōrero Atu, Mauri Tū, Mauri Ora – Speak Up, Stand Together, Stop Bullying!

Celebrated annually around the globe, Pink Shirt Day began in Canada in 2007 when two students took a stand against homophobic bullying, after a peer was bullied for wearing a pink shirt. In Aotearoa, Pink Shirt Day works to create schools, workplaces, communities and whānau where everyone feels safe, valued and respected.

Kia ora e te whānau,

Across the past week we have had a significant number of staff who are absent due to illness, Covid or the need to self isolate. While we have a fantastic group of relievers, due to increased demand across many local schools, we have not been able to secure enough relievers this week to cover all our classes.

We are now unfortunately in the situation again where we need to roster a year level home each day to ensure that our students can continue with their learning in the best environment possible. We are hoping that this week provides a circuit breaker and that school can return to normal next week.

From tomorrow we will be rostering a year level home each day, starting with Y12. When a year level is rostered home, the expectation is that students are completing work set on their google classroom.

The roster is as follows:
Tuesday 17 May: Yr 12, Wednesday 18 May: Yr 11,
Thursday 19 May: Yr 10,
Friday 20 May: Year 9

For any Year 9 or Year 10 students who are unable to be supervised at home, arrangements can be made for them to come to school on their designated rostered home day. Please email:

New Zealand Sign language Week: 9 - 15 May 2022.
NZSL alphabet: Have fun with your whānau, family and friends. Learn your name and teach others theirs!

Level 1 Science students are sitting the first of a 3-part portfolio external assessment this week, as part of the new Level 1 Science pilot - an assessment by NZQA that takes over from the more traditional end of year exams. Students have found it challenging, but they have also found that it is less stressful than traditional exams.

This portfolio of work is talking about the validity of science information presented to the public. Students are also working on a portfolio of science investigations, with another internal assessment coming up in Term 3, discussing a local socio-scientific issue. A final external exam will take place during the official NCEA exams at the end of the year.
