Teacher Only Day – Planting Blessing

Today, was a combined Teacher Only Day for both Mission Heights Junior College and Mission Heights Primary School. Part of the day was spent marking the start of our upcoming legacy project. For this, staff from both schools participated in a blessing ceremony and planted the first lot of trees, which is part of two different projects; the bike track planting and the slope planting to complement the existing forest.
 
This is an integral part of the school’s Matariki celebration – a time to reflect on the past year, celebrate the present, and plan for the year ahead.
 
We hope our community can join us on our Community Planting Day, this Saturday 11th June from 10am-1pm – at the Bike Track.
