Teacher’s Paid Union Meeting – Wednesday 28th June
The MHJC Board has approved the request for members of the PPTA to attend a meeting scheduled for Wednesday 28th June, 2023. Owing to the large number of teachers who will be at the meeting, we are unable to safely continue with normal operations, as a result normal classes will stop at 12pm. You may collect your child(ren) at 12pm from the Valderama Drive entrance only.
Today was our annual sports exchange with Rototuna Junior High School. Students arrived mid-morning from Hamilton for a day of friendly competition in basketball, football, netball, hockey, table tennis, and chess. MHJC performed incredibly well across a number of sports and all students had a great day! We are already looking forward to 2024.
Claudene Prasad (7F2) competed in the New Zealand Distance Ride Championship in Rangitaiki a few weeks ago. Claudene came first, winning the junior category championship and retaining the championship trophy for the second time in a row.
Her horse Hudy Haxwell won best placed Standardbred. Congratulations Claudene on this incredible achievement.
Air quality continues to improve so students are allowed outside for lunch time but as a precaution will not be outside for DEEP classes.
Air quality has improved so students will be allowed outside for morning tea.
PE classes and OED will stay inside as a precaution.
Just an update that the smoke from the fire has caused us to stop any outside activity until we can reassess air quality at morning tea (10.30) today.
Updates will be given as the situation progresses – please check emails and facebook for other messages.
Our Year 10 students had a smooth trip to Singapore and have settled into their accomodation. Here is a photo from their first day at ‘school’.
On Friday 26 May, our Year 7 students walked down to the Fo Guang Shan Buddhist Temple for the Festival of Cultural Sharing. This is an annual event for all Year 7 students at MHJC and an exciting opportunity for both staff and students to make further connections with our local community.
