This week, 11 students have travelled down to Tongariro National Park to attend Hillary Outdoors. The group arrived safely Sunday night and settled in well. They have since spent a day up on the mountain, experiencing snow! We wish them all the best this week.

A reminder to our community of our Open Evening on Wednesday 2nd August.
This is for all current Year 6 students enrolling at MHJC for 2024. It will be an evening to see MHJC in action.

Earlier this week, MHJC hosted the annual Student Leaders’ Conference with over fifty student leaders from MHJC, Ormiston Junior College, Albany Junior High School, Rototuna Junior High School and Sancta Maria College.
The delegates presented one of five topics which provided them with a challenge to creatively explore a topic relevant to young New Zealanders and find solutions.
They all enjoyed the day, made valuable connections, and learnt more about the challenges and opportunities this generation faces.
