Welcome to Greymouth High School

Kia ora

I'm proud to introduce Greymouth High School. In the last few years, our whole community has worked together to create a school that is caring, inclusive and innovative. We're not perfect and we have a lot to keep learning, but we’re open about challenges and we tackle them with a "can-do" attitude.

We take our responsibilities seriously: we're the only school serving the entire Grey District which makes us a vital link for young people between our fantastic primary schools and the exciting options of tertiary study or employment. Grey High aims to be a welcoming school with high achievement for all learners, based on strong relationships and values throughout our community, where every learner develops qualities to make a positive difference throughout their lives. In this way, we believe we can play a key role in the Grey District’s future, which is our vision “the heart of learning in our thriving community”.  We also know that hard work is part of the journey, reflected in our motto Whaia te iti Kahurangi (Strive for Success).

At Greymouth High School, you will see our values in our students and staff:

Akoranga

A learning community in which relationships allow for both student and teacher to be learners and teachers.

Respect

Showing respect by caring for self, each other, guests and our environment.

Community

Strong and positive relationships throughout our school community, with associated rights and responsibilities, giving a sense of belonging.

Hauora

Valuing the wellbeing of everyone in our school community.
