This Friday 9th May is our annual Te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa Festival. The festival enables our kura to celebrate the strength and diversity of our Pasifika community. Performances will take place in the school gym from 11am. All whānau are welcome to attend.
We hope to see you there!
At the end of 2024, the Lavemai whānau gifted the school a Traditional Tongan Mat. These mats hold significant cultural, sentimental, and monetary value, and it is an extremely huge honour to be gifted one.
We thank the Lavemai whānau for their service and generosity to our school. The Mat now hangs permanently in the foyer of our theatre for everyone to enjoy.
On ANZAC Day (Friday 25th April), the Exec Council represented MHJC at the local Howick ANZAC Day Parade, laying a wreath at the Cenotaph to commemorate the bravery and sacrifice of soldiers involved. Lest we forget.
Please look at the below information about the “Blankets for Kids Campaign”, organised by the Howick Rotary. Every little bit helps our greater community this winter.
A reminder that this Friday 11th April is the end of term. School finishes at 1pm.
We wish our whānau a relaxing and safe break.
Our Term 1 Newsletter has been emailed out to our community. It will also be available on our school website.
We would like to thank our students, staff, and whānau for an incredible first Term of the year.
We wish everyone a safe and relaxing upcoming break.
MHJC collaborated with Ormiston Junior College and Ormiston Senior College to enter the 2025 ASB Polyfest competition. Their amazing performance comes from resilience at weekly practices and at many weekend noho. The roopu was tutored by Matua Leeroy and kaiaki from the other kura. Ka pai to all those involved!
Below is a link to the performance.
Tonight marks the joyous occasion of Eid al-Fitr, celebrating the end of Ramadan. To all our students, staff, and their families who are celebrating, we extend our warmest wishes for a blessed and peaceful Eid.
May this day be filled with happiness, togetherness, and the blessings of community. We hope you enjoy this special time with loved ones, sharing meals, laughter, and the spirit of celebration.
For those who may not be familiar with Eid, it is a time of reflection, gratitude, and celebration after a month of fasting and prayer. It is a time for families and friends to come together, share meals, and express their appreciation for the blessings in their lives.
From everyone at MHJC, Eid Mubarak!
This past Friday was Cultural Day at MHJC.
This event is always a significant day on the school calendar, with students and staff dressing up in their cultural or passion wear. As always, lots of students showed their creativity in the ‘Passion Wear’ category and others showed the strong connection they have to their own culture. Students who participated earned a cultural cornerstone participation e-badge.
A reminder to our community that Monday 31st March is a Teacher Only Day. Classes will not be running. Students are to stay home.
