Maunga Whānau is also off at Camp Adair this week. Students have participated in river kayaking and have learned about camp cooking! Their Year 10 leaders have been awesome and everyone is looking forward to an action packed Day 2!
This week Wai and Maunga Whānau are out on their Year 7 Camps at Camp Adair. Students are completing numerous outdoor education activities and challenges. Their first day was a bit wet, so all campers and staff are looking forward to today’s sunshine.
These photos are from Wai Whānau’s first day and morning at Camp Adair.
The Executive Council attended GRIP Leadership Conference yesterday to learn about how to be effective student leaders. They learned valuable skills that will help them to lead during school events as well as brainstormed and discussed ways they can make their mark and serve the MHJC student body.
The next bunch of camp photos are here!
Takutai Whānau has had an incredible 3 days away at Camp Adair. Students participated in river kayaking, group challenges, the famous water slide, and even had their own disco! An amazing week, made even more incredible by the fabulous Year 10 Camp leaders and staff.
We look forward to this group arriving back at school this afternoon.
The first photos are in!
This week Takutai and Ngahere Whānau had their Year 7 Camps out at Camp Adair. Students took part in engaging outdoor education activities and bonded with their Year 7 peers, Year 10 leaders, and teachers.
We look forward to these two camps arriving back to MHJC later today.

A notice for our community – Mr Morrison will be away on a Ministry funded sabbatical from this week until the end of term. Mr Naidoo will be Acting Principal in his place.
Last week, our Year 10 Camp Leaders had a day to grow their leadership skills in preparation for the upcoming Year 7 Camps. Students spent the morning on-site focussing on leadership challenges. They then travelled to Adrenalin Forest to step outside of their comfort zone and work on motivating their peers. Our leaders are now ready and excited to help with the upcoming Camps at Camp Adair.
Thank you to everyone who participated in the first Non Uniform day for 2025 last Friday.
Together MHJC raised a total of $815 which will be donated to the Blind Low Vision Guide Dog Appeal.
Well done and thank you for showing your awhinatanga and supporting this worthy cause!
This week Takutai and Ngāhere Whānau travelled to the Goat Island Marine Reserve north of Auckland to help students experience their learning in ‘real-world’ situations.
Here, Year 8 students from Ngāhere had their term’s learning come to life with a snorkelling day in the mesmerising waters off Goat Island. Students and staff had a fabulous day out! 
This Friday is a non uniform day fundraising for Blind Low Vision NZ for the Guide Dog appeal. Students can wear black, white and orange and need to bring a gold coin donation if they are wearing non uniform.
