A Message from Our Principal

Principal Raeesa Dada with students
Mrs. Raeesa Dada, Principal

Welcome to Mission Heights Junior College. Having been part of the MHJC story as a foundation staff member, it is a privilege and an honour to guide the next stage of your child’s educational journey.

Over the years, MHJC has established a strong reputation for delivering innovative, authentic, and personalised learning experiences. Our students thrive in an inclusive environment where collaboration between students, teachers, and whānau is at the heart of daily school life.

Our passionate and dedicated teaching staff are committed to delivering a rich, challenging curriculum that sparks curiosity, fosters academic excellence, and inspires a lifelong love of learning. We take immense pride in supporting every student to discover their individual strengths, achieve their personal best, and grow into thoughtful, socially responsible students within our diverse society.

True educational success relies on strong partnerships. We deeply value the role our parents, families, and wider community play in our school life, and I encourage you to work alongside us to build meaningful connections that enrich and broaden the opportunities available to our students.

I look forward to walking this journey with you as we write the next exciting chapter of Mission Heights Junior College together.
