This past weekend, our Tournament of Minds (TOM) Team won Nationals in Wellington and have thus qualified to attend the International Tournament in Canberra from October 13th – October 16th 2022.
Tournament of Minds is a problem-solving programme for multi-aged teams of students who work together to solve a demanding, open-ended Long-Term Challenge. The team will also participate in an unseen Spontaneous Challenge on Tournament Day. The purpose of Tournament of Minds is to enhance the potential of youth by developing diverse skills, enterprise, time management, and the discipline to work collectively within a challenging and competitive environment.
Our team needs your help in getting to this International Tournament!
Please see the below link to their fundraising page if you would like to help the team compete at this International event.

MHJC ended Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori with some delicious hangi, fried bread and pudding, and a joint celebration with Mission Heights Primary School. Both schools’ Kapa Haka groups performed together beautifully, as their families, teachers and school mates watched on. We also had a friendly kaiako (teacher) MHP vs MHJC Kaimahi Challenge, with our teachers winning and claiming the ‘Kaimahi quiz’ plaque. Ka mau te Wehi!
A reminder that MHJC’s production is coming up.
Please note, tickets to the Saturday show have now sold out and there are only a few tickets remaining for the Friday show. Ticket sales are online via Eventbrite or at the door before the show (if tickets remain). Tickets will also be sold before school next week by reception.
We look forward to seeing you at our 2022 Production!

A number of our MHJC student athletes excelled at AIMS.

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Māori Language Petition, MHJC had a school wide te reo Māori moment earlier in the week by performing the school haka.
A reminder that tomorrow is Student Led Conference Day. Students will only be on-site if they have pre-booked an in-person SLC with their Learning Advisor.
Our top Year 7 and 8 Cross Country runners went to Muriwai Beach on Tuesday to compete in the Auckland Championships. Well done to Oscar, Cooper, Ryker, Lafaele, and Daniel who all had incredible runs.
