With Term 2 nearing its’ end, we would like to feature a few of the ‘Learning Contexts’ our students have completed over the past 9 weeks. First up is Mountains/Te Maunga Whānau.

The Year 7 context for the term was Matariki, combining learning in Global Studies and Physical Education. A focus for students was learning the popular game of Kī-o-rahi. The organisation Kī-o-rahi Tāmaki Makaurau came into MHJC for 5 weeks to teach students the background of the game, along with the mythological story behind it. The learning culminated in an 8 team tournament!

A special thanks to Kī-o-rahi Tāmaki Makaurau who took time in teaching MHJC students. The organisation also offered a PD session for MHJC Physical Education teachers.

Teacher’s Paid Union Meeting – Wednesday 28th June

The MHJC Board has approved the request for members of the PPTA to attend a meeting scheduled for Wednesday 28th June, 2023. Owing to the large number of teachers who will be at the meeting, we are unable to safely continue with normal operations, as a result normal classes will stop at 12pm. You may collect your child(ren) at 12pm from the Valderama Drive entrance only.

Today was our annual sports exchange with Rototuna Junior High School. Students arrived mid-morning from Hamilton for a day of friendly competition in basketball, football, netball, hockey, table tennis, and chess. MHJC performed incredibly well across a number of sports and all students had a great day! We are already looking forward to 2024.
