Ngahere Year 10’s in Rotorua

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.

Beautification Trust – community message

Below is a message from the Beautification Trust about new recycling rules.

The year has brought about changes and developments with our waste system, in particular regarding what we can and can’t recycle. As many of our community currently struggle with an overflowing red bin on a weekly basis, it is now more important than ever to provide education about how to mend this issue.

Recognising this issue, we created an online waste directory to help our community throughout south and east Auckland (https://www.beautification.org.nz/wastedirectory). Not only this, but we have continued to expand our recycling options onsite at our Community Recycling Centre. We now accept soft plastics and bottle caps (plastic and metal), as well as used tyres (no more than 5, cannot include rims). Please follow this link for further information. https://www.beautification.org.nz/manurewa-community-recycling-centre

Non-Uniform Day – Term 4

This Thursday, we’ll be having our Non-Uniform Day for Term 4! This event is dedicated to supporting the OSC and MHJC Scholarship Fund. The scholarship helps cover university fees for a student who graduated from both OSC and MHJC.

Let’s come together and make a difference!
