Last month, 4 students participated in the World Vision Junior Youth Conference. The goal of the conference was to help grow global citizens through sharing stories, empowering individuals, and inspiring leadership skills. Well done to Savir Selagan (8C1), Kiana Paoo (8F2), Manaspreet Kaur (8M1), and Anmoldeep Kaur (8W2).
Year 7 students from Forest Whānau travelled over to Tiritiri Matangi Island today. It was a day to learn about the native bird and plant species that call Tiritiri Matangi home and how important the Island is in conservation efforts. The trip supported students’ Term 2 learning context – ‘Kaitiaki: Guardians of the Ngahere’.
Mission Heights Junior College is supporting World Vision again this year through participation in the 40 Hour Famine. Students across the school are invited to participate in this event which runs from June 25 – 27, 2021. More information about registration can be found on the 40 Hour Famine website or from Mrs Ismail at school.
Over the past fortnight, all students in Coast Whānau have made trips to the Auckland Museum and VR Voom in Newmarket. Students spent time at the Museum looking at exhibits that relate to their Term 2 learning contexts. The VR Voom taught students about advancing VR technologies. Students also experienced first hand how realistic such programmes can be. Definitely a day to remember for all!

This week across New Zealand is Road Safety Week. Mission Heights students have been taking part by learning about the traffic patterns outside school. Students are learning how high traffic volumes can be reduced by walking to school, which in turn helps the planet. A friendly reminder to all students who walk – use the road patrol crossings.
