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.

As a part of their NCEA ‘Adventure in the Outdoors’ learning journey, Year 10 students from Water Whanau followed up a day of climbing at the Extreme Edge Rock Climbing facility yesterday with white water rafting sessions at the Vector Wero Whitewater Park today. The Wero facility is New Zealand’s first and only artificial white water facility. Students and teachers had a magnificent time!  

Year 7 students enjoyed the Science Roadshow yesterday, which was hosted at Mission Heights Junior College.  The showcase was a wonderful, interactive event that promoted science curiosity and hands-on learning!

Morgan Telfer’s Level 5 cheerleading team ‘Flawless’, executed a very clean routine on both days of the Hawaiian Cheer Games recently, narrowly missing out on the gold by 0.5 of a point.  MHJC is very proud of Morgan and her team for bringing home a well-deserved silver medal from an International competition involving 6 other countries. This will hopefully give the squad a good chance of claiming a gold in one of their next National competitions being held in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch over the following months.
