MHJC challenged students from range of local schools, playing a total of 6 matches during the one day event. Overall the team finished 3rd with a special recognition to both Leo and Aathif for winning 5 out of their 6 matches. Congratulations!
Our congratulations to Mikaya and Alina who competed bravely at the Eastern Zone prepared speech competition, at Santa Maria College recently. The girls were chosen as the ‘best of the best’ speakers from MHJC’s inter whanau speech competition. Thank you parents, teachers and friends for supporting this event.

At the end of Term 2, students from the Enviro DEEP teamed up with the Manukau Beautification Trust and WaiCare to clean up the community. Within 45 minutes, the group had hauled rubbish out of the reserve at the corner of Valderama Drive and Bellagio Way.
Students were surprised how much inorganic waste was being dumped, including spare tyres and old camping equipment. Indeed, so much rubbish was pulled out, that the group filled two trailers!

The concept for the Year 10 Mountain students this year was called Eggsperiment. This started with them being given a normal egg to look after, dress and babysit. The highlight of this concept was when the students had the opportunity to hatch their own chickens from fertilized eggs.
They made their own incubators and researched about the optimal conditions for hatching and were pleased to announce that after a highly anticipated 21 days, they had 4 healthy inquisitive chicks.
