Thank you!

We would like to acknowledge and thank Penina Savili for her kind gift of a Samoan siapo (tapa cloth) and ‘ulafala (necklace) to the school and Mr Morrison respectively. Penina was a staunch supporter of our Māori and Pasifika parent group while Allegra was enrolled at MHJC.

Fa’afetai tele lava!

Please make sure you are driving safely (and parking safely) during drop-offs and pick-ups, and note that our school has a 40km/hour speed zone.

Fiji Outreach Group – Update

Our MHJC Fiji Outreach Group have arrived safely back home.
They spent time visiting local schools, where they donated books and helped with planting cabbages and coriander. They also assisted the local community with a roadside cleanup. Finally the group spent time sightseeing, including going to the coral coast sand dunes.
Overall, the students had an amazing and enriching cultural experience.

Cross Country

The final Thursday of Term 2 was MHJC’s annual Cross Country event. Despite some rather windy conditions, the new course brought incredibly fast times and everyone had a fantastic day showcasing Whānau spirit.
Congratulations to all students who took part and to Ngahere Whānau for winning the Cross Country title for 2025! 🥇

Fiji Outreach Update

Our Fiji Outreach Group have had an amazing couple of days immersing themselves into the Fijian culture.
They have visited the Nadi Temple and a Fijian village. They’ve explored markets, travelled on the Bula Bus Ride, flew down a zip line, and hiked to a beautiful waterfall.
The group also spent time with residents of the Golden Age Home and helped with some cleaning. Students also donated some gifts to the residents. So far the weather has been spectacular! ☀️

Celebration Assembly

Yesterday we celebrated success at MHJC during our end of term Celebration Assembly. Congratulations to all our champions!

We also had a special farewell to Mr Naddy Naidoo who departed MHJC at the end of Term 1. Mr Naidoo is very well known in our school community and was one of the foundation staff at Mission Heights Junior College. He dedicated 17 years of service to MHJC and will be missed. We wish Mr Naidoo all the best on his next adventure.
