This past Thursday was MHJC’s annual 𝐒𝐰𝐢𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐬 and Inter-whānau competition. Students swam exceptionally well and displayed great sportsmanship throughout the day. Congratulations to Maunga/Mountains Whānau for their Swimming Sports win.
Year 10 students in Wai/Water Whānau travelled to Okahu Bay today for the outcome of their SOS Wai World context.
Students rotated through activities which included water testing, science grid observations, and water rescues. The highlight was learning about and participating in Waka Ama. Despite some rain, students and staff had a great day out in the Waitemāta Harbour.
Yesterday was historic for MHJC!
Ngā Pou Kahikatea Kapa Haka performed on the Māori Stage at Polyfest. Congratulations to all students and staff involved! A huge achievement for all. MHJC is so proud of you!
