We offer a very wide range of subjects and courses see next page and our Course Information Booklets for Years 11, . OUR SCHOOL CREST Represents the visit of Abel Janzoon Tasman to Golden Bay on 19th December 1642. Income is derived mainly from agriculture dairy farming, horticulture and dry stock . Fishing, tourism, retailing and arts and crafts are other sources of livelihood.
27 of those in employment are self employed twice the regional average but professional, technical and managerial groups have a small representation. The range of skills and qualifications in the community is wide, and the level of education in the community, and thus the expectation of academic success for children, is very high by New Zealand standards. One of the reasons for this is that there are significant numbers of people who choose to live in the Bay for lifestyle reasons. This in turn raises the decile rating of the school to a level that does not reflect the limited income in the Bay. Golden Bay is a trusting, secure, low crime community, and young people are able to cycle or walk to activities without fear.
Sailing, kayaking, diving, rock climbing, tramping and caving, as well as the use of the environment as a classroom for Geography, Biology, and Outdoor Education, are all features of the school in the community. There are cultural and sporting clubs in the community including musical and drama groups. There are, however, few organised entertainment facilities for young people. Golden Bay is separated from the rest of Tasman district by a winding road over the Takaka Hill.
