This term in Ngahere Whānau, the Year 8 students have been exploring kaitiakitanga and what it means to be guardians of our environment. As part of their learning, students visited Goat Island Marine Reserve, where they experienced marine conservation firsthand. They observed a wide variety of fish and sea life in their natural habitat and gained a deeper understanding of the importance of protecting our oceans.
Students challenged themselves throughout the day, demonstrating resilience, curiosity, and respect for the environment. It was a fantastic learning experience and a day they will not forget. 🤿🐠🐟🌊
A reminder to our community that this Thursday 5th March is our Whānau Evening.

Te Whānau Maunga kicked off the year with a perfect day out at the Parnell Baths during Week 3 . With the sun shining bright, our ākonga and kaiako came together to enjoy the water activities in the famous saltwater pools. The trip was all about building our whānau spirit, and making connections and strengthening whanaungatanga – our Term 1 contexts. We made some fantastic memories at this historic Auckland landmark. Here’s to a great year ahead for Maunga Whānau!

The day was filled with laughter and water activities, providing a wonderful opportunity for students to build friendships and create shared memories. Overall, it was a highly successful day centered on whanaungatanga and team spirit.
On Tuesday, MHJC celebrated the Lunar New Year, with staff and students wearing red. Students also participated in a Chinese Calligraphy workshop that was offered at lunch time.
We would like to wish our entire community a prosperous Lunar New Year.
