Another initiative that continued this term for MHJC students has been Auckland Council’s ‘Adopt A Park’ programme. For the past 5 years, MHJC has taken part in this programme, ‘adopting’ Silvana Park, which is a short 300m down Valderama Drive from the school grounds. This park, and the adjacent Taraire Creek, have been cleared of rubbish and planted with native species by our Enviro Council. The greenspace is now home to Tūī, Wētā, and Kerurū. Well done to our students in the Enviro Council!
With Term 2 nearing its’ end, we would like to feature a few of the ‘Learning Contexts’ our students have completed over the past 9 weeks. This feature is from Coast/Te Takutai Whānau.
The Year 10 context this term in Coast/Takutai has been ‘the world according to chain reaction’. Part of this context involved learning about Outdoor Education safety behaviours in Physical Education. Behaviours that can help students keep safe while they understand the action/reaction balance that occurs on Outdoor Education trips. Year 10 students were able to demonstrate their learning during two trips – White Water Rafting at Vector Wero and a tramp at Point View Reserve.
With Term 2 nearing its’ end, we would like to feature a few of the ‘Learning Contexts’ our students have completed over the past 9 weeks. First up is Mountains/Te Maunga Whānau.
The Year 7 context for the term was Matariki, combining learning in Global Studies and Physical Education. A focus for students was learning the popular game of Kī-o-rahi. The organisation Kī-o-rahi Tāmaki Makaurau came into MHJC for 5 weeks to teach students the background of the game, along with the mythological story behind it. The learning culminated in an 8 team tournament!
A special thanks to Kī-o-rahi Tāmaki Makaurau who took time in teaching MHJC students. The organisation also offered a PD session for MHJC Physical Education teachers.
