Whānau Āwhina Plunket Babysitting Course
Whānau Āwhina Plunket is offering an online Babysitting Course to our senior students.
This course is designed to give high school students the knowledge and skills to babysit children of all ages. It’s written for first time babysitters; students don’t need to have previous experience to enrol. The course ideal for students aged 14 and above and takes around 2-3 hours to complete.
Students work through nine sequential modules, and on completion of the course and the final quiz, will receive a certificate certified by Whānau Āwhina Plunket to show employers that they have completed this course and are ready to babysit. As well as the certificate, the students are sent a Babysitter’s Manual that supports all the information they have learned in the course.
This course is presented using videos, quizzes and activities which are fun as well as informative. For more information, please see the link below.

Coast Whānau – Y8 Duder Regional Park
Yesterday, Year 8 students from Coast Whānau travelled to Duder Regional Park for the day. As part of their Term 1 context ‘Our Place’, students worked to learn more about our local area, including Duder Regional Park. Leading up to the trip, students learned how to be socially responsible citizens in order to work well with peers and take care of ‘Our Place’. A fantastic day was had by all!

Neurodiversity Week
MHJC is celebrating ‘Neurodiversity Week’.
Neurodiversity Celebration Week is a worldwide initiative that challenges stereotypes and misconceptions about neurological differences. It aims to transform how neurodivergent individuals are perceived and supported by providing schools, universities, and organisations with the opportunity to recognise the many talents and advantages of being neurodivergent, while creating more inclusive and equitable cultures that celebrate differences and empower every individual.
