On Wednesday, MHJC held the annual 𝐓𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐚𝐧𝐚-𝐍𝐮𝐢-𝐚-𝐊𝐢𝐰𝐚 𝐅𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥. This festival is a showcase of our Māori and Pasifika cultures and enables students to show who they are to our school and whānau community. The students involved put on incredible performances and we are excited to continue this festival in 2025.

Next week (Week 3 – May 13th-17th), MHJC will be holding our annual 𝐄𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐫𝐨 𝐖𝐞𝐞𝐤.
The week promotes our MHJC philosophy of Kaitiakitanga (Guardianship) of our place, our home, our school, and our land.
Throughout the week, there will be four key activities that support environment initiatives . .

1. Wheels and Walk to School

2. Best /Cleanest Whānau Tautaiao Enviro Cup

3. Tread Lightly Educational lessons for all Year 7 classes

4. Pest Free Howick presentations to all students

An email outlining the above activities has been sent to all students and whānau. Please see this email for more details on how students can participate. We look forward to an exciting week.

MHJC students have featured in a recent Times article about Anzac Day. Norah Mukalef delivered her stirring Anzac speech in Howick, while Mohammad Dhalli, Abel Wee, and Faazil Muhammed shared their poems at the Auckland War Memorial Museum. It is great seeing these students recognised in our wider community – we hope you enjoy the article too.

To commemorate Anzac Day, MHJC had three students travel to the Auckland War Memorial Museum – Mohammad Dhalli, Abel Wee, and Faazil Muhammed.
These boys presented their winning poems at the event. They were part of the 9 finalists who spoke, out of 189 entries. Congratulations to these three boys on doing a fabulous job representing our community and MHJC.

Yesterday, all Year 7 students walked down to the 𝐅𝐨 𝐆𝐮𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐁𝐮𝐝𝐝𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐓𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞. This annual visit for all MHJC Year 7 students is part of the 3G/4G Festival of Cultural Sharing. It enabled students and staff to continue to forge connections with our greater Flat Bush community. An excellent morning was had by all and we look forward to next year.
