Yesterday, Year 8 students from Coast Whānau travelled to Duder Regional Park for the day. As part of their Term 1 context ‘Our Place’, students worked to learn more about our local area, including Duder Regional Park. Leading up to the trip, students learned how to be socially responsible citizens in order to work well with peers and take care of ‘Our Place’. A fantastic day was had by all!

Neurodiversity Celebration Week is a worldwide initiative that challenges stereotypes and misconceptions about neurological differences. It aims to transform how neurodivergent individuals are perceived and supported by providing schools, universities, and organisations with the opportunity to recognise the many talents and advantages of being neurodivergent, while creating more inclusive and equitable cultures that celebrate differences and empower every individual.
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.
These values are an integral aspect of life at MHJC and all students continue to learn and demonstrate these values throughout their journey. These values are unpacked by the Great Learner Progression. Students are assessed against these progressions and this is reported on their ‘live’ Holistic Report. This report is accessible 24 hours a day and updated weekly on Mission Heights Online.
Our first school value to be featured is Pono/Integrity. Here students are working to:
– be an active and reliable community member
– be a safe and responsible user of digital technology
– practice emotional self-regulation and mindful well-being
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.
