Year 7/8 Inter-School Hockey Tournament

On Thursday the 16th of June we hosted the Inter-School Year 7/8 Hockey Tournament at our school. 

A mixed team of Year 7 and 8 students from Gulf Harbour, Silverdale and Stella Maris participated in the coast cluster hockey tournament.

Each team played twice and they all grew in confidence as the games went on. In every game we scored goals and our school's Player of the Day was Ashleigh Nelson who got picked by the other coaches and refs.

It was a great day and the team are looking forward to the North Harbour Hockey tournament next week.

Auckland Kids Marathon - 30th October

The kids run the full marathon over 10 weeks. We will do a lunch time run of 2 km on a Friday starting Friday 26th August for 10 weeks, a 2km in your own time run,  and then run the final 2.195 km at the Auckland Marathon.  


It is very exciting running in with adults who have just completed the full marathon. 


Join the Sport Gulf Harbour Team. To register contact Cass on running2@sportgulfharbour.co.nz.  Free t-shirt early bird special to June 30th.

Year 7 and 8 students set for success

Dear Parents,


Gulf Harbour School stands out from the schools in our area for many reasons. Our work, our approach and our children all indicate that we are different, and we are proud of that fact!
Additionally, our school is structured to accommodate the Year 7 & 8 years (known as a full primary). Again, unlike most other schools in our area we are both proud and confident in the knowledge our children are set for success because they stay the full course at Gulf Harbour School.


In summary, our key points are:

• For the developing adolescent our full primary context is best because this promotes the leadership, self image and sense of identity fostered.
• Full primary schools are very common.
• Most High Schools (Colleges) start at Year 9.
• Our student academic achievement is above national average.
• The opportunities our children participate in are huge due to our lower numbers and commitment in this area.

I trust this assists you in making an informed and positive choice for your child.


Please read the key points in more detail.
