Over the past fortnight, all students in Coast Whānau have made trips to the Auckland Museum and VR Voom in Newmarket. Students spent time at the Museum looking at exhibits that relate to their Term 2 learning contexts. The VR Voom taught students about advancing VR technologies. Students also experienced first hand how realistic such programmes can be. Definitely a day to remember for all!

Congratulations to Kaela Clayton and John Nguyen for representing MHJC at College Sport’s Southeastern/Central Zone Cross Country. A challenging course for both athletes, Kaela and John ran strong races in a very competitive field. Well done to both!
This week across New Zealand is Road Safety Week. Mission Heights students have been taking part by learning about the traffic patterns outside school. Students are learning how high traffic volumes can be reduced by walking to school, which in turn helps the planet. A friendly reminder to all students who walk – use the road patrol crossings.
A friendly reminder to our school community that this week is Kindness Week. On Friday, we will be having a Pink Shirt Mufti Day as part of International Anti-Bullying Day supported by workplaces, schools, and organisations around the country. Students can wear a pink shirt or pink item of clothing. A gold coin donation will be collected with proceeds going to the Mental Health Foundation.

Water Whānau Year 10 students had an incredible Day 2 out at Muriwai. Students learned the skills and techniques of surfing in order to catch some waves. And horse trekking along the black sand was a completely new experience for many. What stunning Auckland weather too!
