Mission Heights Junior College is excited to be sending both a netball and a basketball team to the national AIMS Games in Tauranga this year! 🌟
To help with the costs, our awesome players are selling cookie dough as a fundraiser. It’s a sweet way to support our teams — and every order helps lighten the load for our families.

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.
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.
