A message to our community about wearing helmets.

Please be reminded that anyone riding a bicycle or scooter must wear a helmet when on-site at MHJC. This applies before, during, and after school.
In addition, there is concern about students who are riding e-scooters to and from school without helmets. These scooters can reach high speeds and therefore cause serious injury if students fall, so we please ask that students riding these also wear helmets.

Lastly, please ride all scooters and bicycles on the bike track after school, not around our school site.

We appreciate the support from our community regarding this.

Congratulations to Neil Matthew who placed first in the Auckland Gymsports, Individual Mens’ Artistic Gymnastics Grade C Competition. Well done on your recent achievement Neil! 🥇

Congratulations to our SEZ Boys Futsal team. They were runners up yesterday in their tournament. They played extremely well, especially in the tight final match.

Well done to the team – Vincent Z, Nivaan G, William B, Prabhroop B, Jafar A, Ryder C, Daniel L, and Fardin B.

Owing to the large numbers of in-zone enrolments expected, the Board has decided that no out-of-zone enrolments will be accepted for the 2025 school year.
This includes siblings of previously and currently enrolled students.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause whānau.

This week, MHJC staff and students have celebrated Matariki with activities and small whānau celebrations.

On Monday, students put in lots of mahi to become kaitiaki of our new ngahere. Great effort to all that took part. 🌿

Then, on Tuesday, students opted to participate in a Matariki Stars project. Here, ākonga learned about weaving and they created the stars that signify the arrival of Matariki. 🌟

We wish our greater whānau a wonderful Matariki.

A message for our community . . .

We want to bring to your attention that we have had two cases reported to us of students showing symptoms of chickenpox.

The disease is spread by coughing, sneezing and contact with weeping blisters. Early symptoms to watch for are fever and spots with a blister on top of each spot.

Students should stay away from school 1 week from appearance of rash, or until all blisters have dried.

We also advise you to consult your doctor if you need more information.
