As our year begins to wrap up . . . a number of our Year 10 students are reflecting on their journey at MHJC.
Here, some Year 10s from Takutai Whānau reflect as the year ends.
‘We have had an amazing year, with many of our valuable memories stemming from our time together as a class. A highlight has been the celebration of our Term 4 context – Tō tātou haerenga: Te whakanui i ngā angitu. (Our Journey: Celebrating Successes.)
One of our most memorable trips was visiting the Wero Whitewater Park. On this trip, we were given the experience of paddling on rafts and climbing through high obstacles, having a fun time together as a whānau. Another trip that the Year 10s thoroughly enjoyed was the visit to the haunted attraction, Spookers. We were guided through two scare houses; one being the main haunted house, and the other being a maze, where we were chased in the dark.
All in all, we have had a wonderful final learning context, celebrating our time and journey at MHJC!’
Our Year 10 students are participating in work-experience workshops this week that focus on team building, making a great first impression, and understanding workplace etiquette.
These sessions are a fun and supportive way to help them feel confident and ready for their actual work-experience days with employers from Wednesday to Friday.
These photos are of Coast and Mountains students taking part in the workshops on Monday. Today, Forest and Water Year 10s will experience the same workshops.
Our Year 9 Outdoor Education class is out on camp at Omana Regional Park. They arrived there yesterday afternoon to set up camp and enjoy the local area before cooking a camp dinner. We hope they had a great night, they return to school this afternoon.
