Last year, MHJC received funding from the Ministry of Education – The Creatives – for our students to take part in Cook Island Drumming lessons, which they thoroughly enjoyed. In addition to this Ministry support, MHJC received further funding from the Howick Local Board to purchase a complete set of drums that can be used at school. These drums will continue to teach future students Cook Island Drumming and will mean our students can continue to celebrate their unique cultural identity. We would like to thank the Howick Local Board for their generosity in supporting our students.
