This is such a big concern and we need to tackle it as a community.

Date: 16 February 2026

Time 6.30pm – 8.30pm

Venue: MHJC, Joan Middlemiss Theatre

Tickets cost $10 per person and can be purchased via Eventfinder.

Included in your ticket is a one-year complimentary subscription to Parenting in an Online World 101, valued at $99. Created by Rob and Zareen at Our Kids Online, this practical, no-nonsense course is designed specifically for kiwi families and is already being used in thousands of homes across the country.

Please note: simply buying a ticket does not give you access to the course – you must attend on the night to receive it. So don’t miss out!

An email has been sent home today outlining the key dates for the start of the year. Another email will follow tomorrow providing more information about Admin Day, which is on Monday 2 February. Please note all key start dates below.

We look forward to seeing students soon!

2025 has been a great year of learning at MHJC, for both students and staff. And we wish everyone a relaxing and safe summer with whānau. We look forward to seeing you in 2026.

We wish our Year 7s and 8s a safe and relaxing summer, before seeing you back at MHJC in 2026!

On Monday this week, we celebrated our Year 9 cohort with their end of year prizegiving. It was a time to celebrate their achievements – both academically and across the four cornerstones.

We wish our Year 9s a wonderful summer and look forward to seeing you grow as Year 10s in 2026!

Congratulations to our 2025 graduates.

The Year 10 Graduation was on Thursday night. We wish our graduates goodluck as they embark on their senior college experience in 2026. MHJC will miss you!
