A reminder that Monday is a Teacher Only Day. The school will be closed.
This Friday 25th March, MHJC is having a Mufti Day in support of the Tongan Relief Fund. Students are asked to wear red and white, or their best ta’ovala, and bring in a gold coin donation to show support.
Last Friday was the final ‘Year 7 Day Camp’ experience. Students from Mountains Whānau travelled down to Camp Adair for the day and spent time enjoying the wide range of activities on offer. Ko te tumanako kua pai tō wheako i te hopuni.
MHJC has been gifted 200 Rapid Antigen Tests by the Fo Guang Shan Buddhist Temple. We would like to thank the Temple for their ongoing support of our school and community.
At the end of last week, Forest Whānau and Water Whānau had their ‘Year 7 Day Camp’ experiences at Camp Adair. Both groups of students enjoyed different activities down at the Hunua location, with Year 10 leaders working well to support Year 7 students in enjoying their camp day.

As part of the Year 10 Outdoor Education programme this term, students are travelling to Vector Wero. Here, they are learning key kayaking skills and techniques as a further way to discover the great outdoors.
Te Wai Whānau Year 10 students have been working to normalise Te Reo in everyday school life by supporting students in their Learning Advisor Group. Year 10s are helping others learn their Pepeha, a traditional Karakia, the School Haka and the Te Reo version of the National Anthem. This important work supports Te Tiriti O Waitangi Principles – particularly the Principle of Protection; the active protection of Māori knowledge, interests, values and other tāonga. Through this work, we are supporting our young people to be culturally located learners and reinforcing the importance that as NZ residents/citizens we all need to be living the Te Tiriti O Waitangi Principles.
