The new government has placed a special emphasis on increasing levels of attendance of students at school and linked to this has been some discussion of the amount of time lost when schools close for instruction. Every school is required to be open for instruction for a minimum number of half days a year.
To clarify this topic I thought I would explain how, why and when the school might close.
In these cases the school year remains the same.
In these cases the school extends the school year so that instruction time is not lost.
The PPTA and Ministry of Education are holding discussions in order to confirm what is the most effective operational way of navigating these situations in the future. This is why the closing of the school this week for a PUM meeting was cancelled.
As a school we will continue to comply with the regulations which relate to the closing of schools and ensure both the Board is fully informed, that child care arrangements for whānau are minimised and that the impact on our students’ learning is not compromised.
Emails were sent out to our community today regarding the dates below. Please take note.

Please note that the Teachers Paid Union Meeting that was scheduled for Thursday 14th November has been cancelled; therefore, school will continue as normal for all students.

Year 10 students are not required to attend school on Friday. They have a study from home day.

Congratulations to all MHJC students for competing in the Athletics and Tabloid Sport competitions this past Friday!
The weather was fantastic and students displayed high levels of sportsmanship and camaraderie throughout.
A special congratulations to Ngahere Whānau for winning Athletics and for Wai Whānau for coming first in Tabloid Sports!

Congratulations to Ayaan Bhatia (8M1) who competed in the Champions Trophy in Wellington and performed extremely well.
Ayaan is in the top 1% of Chess players for his age group across New Zealand. Well done Ayaan on your recent success! 🥇
Next Wednesday 30th October, we invite students and staff to wear traditional Diwali attire to school to celebrate Diwali. If you don’t have any traditional clothing, ask to borrow from a friend.
Let’s embrace the diversity of our school community and appreciate our shared celebrations by supporting our kaupapa of whanaungatanga.
We look forward to seeing everyone in their stunning attire!
In Term 1, our Ngahere Year 10 students planned their dream trip to Rotorua. In Maths, they looked at budgets and costs in order to make this dream a reality.
Yesterday, the group got back from this trip. Students went to Rotorua and experienced the gondola, luge, Polynesian Spa, Redwoods Tree Walk, and the famous Zorb.
Amazing memories were formed for these students to conclude their time as MHJC students.
