Kia ora koutou,

During the year students have been gathering evidence of how they have lived our school values for their holistic reports.

As a courtesy I want to advise that 𝐓𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝟏𝟐𝐭𝐡 𝐒𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 has been set aside, so that instead of normal classes, students will meet one on one with their Learning Advisor to have the evidence they have provided for their Great Learner Portfolio assessed.

This will be similar to days when we hold Student Led Conferences.

Parents and caregivers may accompany their child if they wish to.

A more detailed letter will be sent to you shortly which will include an opportunity for children to be supervised at school if you are unable to do so at home.

Thanks in advance for your support of this important initiative.

On Thursday 17th August, MHJC hosted a Student vs. Staff Benchball Game. This game was organised by four year 10 students as a part of their Global Studies Social Action.

Students who attended the game donated canned goods and a gold coin. A total of $177.60 and 31 cans were raised, all going to the Feed the Need Foundation. This foundation helps to assist those in poverty.

Well done to all who took part and thank you to all who donated!
