This week Year 7 and 8 students from Mountains Whānau attended the Weta Workshop Unleashed as part of their recent learning context. An incredible and very memorable experience for all.
Mission Heights Junior College is holding an inter Whānau cans drive to collect cans for the Auckland City Mission foodbank.
Support can come in the way of a donation of 2 x cans or other food items, to be handed in to your lower Whānau Thursday or Friday this week. This will help to make a difference to vulnerable families and individuals in our community, if you are able to do so.
We will be dropping our donations to the City Mission on Friday afternoon.
Thank you for your continued support.
On Friday, students and staff travelled down to Massey Park in Papakura for the annual Athletics Day. As always, it was a fantastic showing of Whānau spirit and athletic pursuits. Well done to Forest Whānau on placing first! 
Attention all students – next week on Wednesday 26th October is the Social Enterprise Market Day. Head to the Bike Shed during lunch to see all the amazing products on offer! And don’t for get your cash.
Our Tournament of Minds Team traveled to Australia during the school holidays. The students competed in Canberra from the 13th to 17th October at the Tournament of Minds International Competition.
The students presented a solution to a 3 hr challenge which required them to come up with a new celebration that would unite the country. They then had to present this solution in 10 minutes as a dramatic performance. The challenge also included a spontaneous challenge where they had 4 minutes to unpack a question and provide a solution.
Our students did very well but there could be only 2 winners out of the 80 teams that were there.
We would like to acknowledge the support of our wider community in helping our team attend this competition. Without your generous contributions this opportunity would not have been possible.
MHJC will be having a purple Mufti Day this coming Wednesday 28th September. Wear purple as a way to show re-connections with the community. Bring a $2 donation to support our Tournament of Minds team in making their way to Canberra for the International TOM Tournament.
