Auckland Netball Prizegiving was this past Saturday for our Premier Girls Netball Team, where they received their 1st Place certificates and badges. They also had a special photo taken with Samon Nathan, the Northern Stars mid court player. 🥇

MHJC finished Te Wiki o te Reo Māori strong, with our tuakana-teina opportunity for our Year 9 & 10 Te Reo classes who taught our Year 7 students some fun Māori kēmu. Ākonga and kaiako also got to enjoy some delicious hāngī for lunch and dressed up proudly in traditional attire.

MHJC started Te Wiki o te Reo Māori with a fried bread workshop for our Māori ākonga. This was followed by some fresh hot parāoa para (fried bread) and purina mamaoa (steamed pudding) for our kaiako during morning tea.
We look forward to continuing to celebrate Te Wiki o te Reo Māori!

Today has been a great day down in Tauranga for our AIMS Netball team.

This morning, they had a hard game against the hometown favourite Otumoetai. But the students rallied and played outstanding netball in the afternoon for a big win.

Congratulations to Faith Toleafoa who was awarded with ‘Most Integrity’, Carmen Martin who was awarded with ‘Best Sportsmanship’ and Jostian Lapu’aho who was given ‘Player of the Match’. These awards were selected by the opposition team.
