House System

Green Bay High School is always awash with colour, fun, laughter, and sportsmanship during our school-wide House events. House competitions provide a sense of competition and whanau support, through a range of school based activities. House events are run throughout the year with points awarded for each event. As well as school wide competitions, individual students can earn House points for outstanding academic or community based achievements. The Leader Board, situated in Student Services, clearly shows which House is in the lead.

Students belong to one of five Houses which are named after our local beaches:

  • Anawhata (black)
  • Karekare (yellow)
  • Muriwai (blue)
  • Piha (green)
  • Whatipu (red)

Which HOUSE do you belong to? Check your Timetable, the first letter of your Form Class shows which House you are associated with eg P9FNN = Piha, Yr9, Form Teacher: Séan Finan.
