The annual 𝐌𝐇𝐉𝐂 𝐒𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐚 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐰 was this week! 🎅
Students (and staff) performed over the course of two shows; singing Christmas carols, dancing to holiday songs, and spreading lots of cheer. It was a great way to kick start the holidays season and is always a favourite end of year tradition at MHJC. What a show!
Congratulations to Benjamin Huang who competed at the Auckland Athletics Championship last week. Benjamin competed in the 400m race and placed first. Well done Benjamin! 🥇

Last week our 𝐘𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝟗 𝐄𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐞 students hosted their annual Market Day event. Students demonstrated creativity and innovation with the amazing products that they made to sell. They demonstrated skills and knowledge of the 4P’s of the marketing mix – Price, Promotion, Product, and Place. Students made an overall profit of $800 collectively and they have decided to donate the funds to our Tournament of Minds teams. A huge ka pai to our Y9 Enterprise teams for their efforts!
Reminder – this Friday 3rd November is a Non Uniform Day. Students are asked to bring a gold coin donation that will go towards a fund supporting deserving members of our MHJC community.
Offical results have now come through for our Tournament of Minds teams competing last week in Melbourne.
Our Language and Literature Team came 2nd for Secondary Game On Challenge. And our Social Science Team won Spirit of TOM and places 2nd in their category.
Fantastic results for an excellent trip! Well done! 🌟
