Tucked at the head of Whakaraupō | Lyttelton Harbour, our ākonga live and learn amongst the kererū, the ti kouka and the water. A warm welcome to you and your whānau as you explore what Te Kura o Ōhinetahi | Governors Bay School has on offer as a kura and as a community. We invite any pātai | questions and visits to our kura
Kia ora koutou,

Kia ora koutou,
Mt Cheeseman is running a Primary & Intermediate Schools Fun Ski Race Day on Friday September 4th. This is a fun opportunity for Primary and Intermediate school students to race on an easy intermediate course as individuals and represent their school as a team.
At this stage, we have one student who has registered as an individual participant.
If you would like to enter your child to participate on the day, you can find more information here:
https://www.mtcheeseman.co.nz/events/p-and-i-school-ski-race/
Please note: While we would love for our ākonga to represent our school at this event, we will not be organising the logistics or transporting children to the event on the day. Payment & logistics will be the responsibility of individual whānau.
Kia ora,

Anyone with a child/young person in their life aged 12 and under will find value in being there - a very special opportunity to hear from Parenting Place, down from Auckland and in the harbour for just one night!

Kia ora whānau,
Thank you for sharing your feedback about what matters most to you at our kura, and what you would like to see more of moving forward. We’ve had a fantastic response from our whānau community, and alongside input from our kaiako, students, and wider community, this has been woven into a draft Strategic Plan to guide our kura over the next four years.
Please take some time to read the draft Strategic Plan (attached) and share any thoughts or changes you would like to see. We would appreciate any feedback no later than Friday 17 April.
Every voice counts, and we look forward to hearing from you.
Best Wishes,
Chloe Delamore-Black
Board Chair, Governors Bay School
