Today was our annual sports exchange with Rototuna Junior High School. Students arrived mid-morning from Hamilton for a day of friendly competition in basketball, football, netball, hockey, table tennis, and chess. MHJC performed incredibly well across a number of sports and all students had a great day! We are already looking forward to 2024.
Claudene Prasad (7F2) competed in the New Zealand Distance Ride Championship in Rangitaiki a few weeks ago. Claudene came first, winning the junior category championship and retaining the championship trophy for the second time in a row.
Her horse Hudy Haxwell won best placed Standardbred. Congratulations Claudene on this incredible achievement.
Air quality continues to improve so students are allowed outside for lunch time but as a precaution will not be outside for DEEP classes.
Air quality has improved so students will be allowed outside for morning tea.
PE classes and OED will stay inside as a precaution.
Just an update that the smoke from the fire has caused us to stop any outside activity until we can reassess air quality at morning tea (10.30) today.
Updates will be given as the situation progresses – please check emails and facebook for other messages.

On Friday 26 May, our Year 7 students walked down to the Fo Guang Shan Buddhist Temple for the Festival of Cultural Sharing. This is an annual event for all Year 7 students at MHJC and an exciting opportunity for both staff and students to make further connections with our local community.
This Week is Samoan Language Week!

Early this morning a group of Year 10 students departed the Auckland International Airport headed for Singapore.
