Te Waka Kura o Mohua, also known as Golden Bay High School, is the bay's high school at 12 Waitapu Road in Tākaka, in the Tasman region, with enrolment and contact details on its website, gbh.school.nz.
Picking a secondary school in a place like Golden Bay comes down to fit and reach. Small rolls generally mean students are known by name, but it's worth asking how senior classes get to specialist subjects and NCEA pathways, whether through shared classes, online learning or trades programmes. A visit on an ordinary school day tells you more than a prospectus: watch how students move through the place, and ask about bus runs across the bay, out-of-zone enrolment dates, and how new arrivals from the district's small primaries are settled in.
From its Waitapu Road site in Tākaka, the school draws its students — and its te reo name — from the bay itself, Mohua.
