Congratulations to our 𝐒𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐨𝐫 𝐆𝐢𝐫𝐥𝐬 𝐍𝐞𝐭𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐥 team for a big win on Saturday morning. They won their game by scoring an incredible goal on the buzzer!

A notice to our school community . . .

An email has been sent home regarding the 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐅𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 taking place on 𝐖𝐞𝐝𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝟐𝟎𝐭𝐡 𝐀𝐮𝐠𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓.

Following a breakdown in the bargaining process between the PPTA and Ministry of Education, PPTA Te Wehengarua members covered by the Secondary Teachers’ Collective Agreement (“STCA”) have voted to take strike action.

The school does not have sufficient staff to safely remain open for instruction on that day. Therefore, teachers who are not PPTA members will supervise students on site who cannot be supervised at home. If your child/ren cannot be supervised at home on Wednesday 20th August, please email the Whānau Assistant, as below, by Monday 18th August, 2025.

If this request is not received, it is understood that the parent/caregiver will take responsibility for the supervision of their child/ren.

𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐤𝐞𝐬 have also been planned for the below dates.
On those dates, PPTA members will not teach, instruct or supervise students in certain year levels but will continue to teach all other students on those days.

Wednesday 17th September – Year 10 students will learn from home
Thursday 18th September – Year 9 students will learn from home

We will re-confirm these dates in September.

Our school community has been emailed about voting in the Board of Trustees Election.

Please check your emails for electronic voting. Attached is information about our 8 candidates.

Our annual conference took place earlier this week with students attending from Ormiston Junior College, Rototuna Junior High School, Sancta Maria College, Albany Junior High School, and of course MHJC.

This conference is always a highlight for the young, aspiring leaders from all five schools. We wish to thank those schools who attended and the staff that supported this conference.

MHJC’s math student extraordinaire, Japnaam, was live on TVNZ’s ‘Breakfast ‘this morning.

She also recently placed first in the finals of the SIP Abacus ANZ Prodigy Competition, where 250+ children competed across Australia and New Zealand. She was presented the award by Hon David Seymour, Deputy Prime Minister of New Zealand. She will be travelling to India to represent New Zealand later this year in the International Prodigy Competition.

Congratulations on an amazing achievement Japnaam.

It has been a fantastic day in the capital for Ms Martin’s ‘governance’ field trip with Year 9 Ngahere students! Students observed parliament in session and attended question time with the Prime Minister on a range of issues before having a guided tour of Te Papa. ✈️
What an amazing day in Wellington!

This Friday 15th August is Non Uniform Day!

Come to school in orange, green, black and/or white to support the OSC scholarship fund.

🌲🌳🌱 This programme continues to flourish at MHJC!
During Week 2, 20 students travelled to Kawakawa Bay to help in a planting initiative on private land. Our Trees for Survival group grew 800 native seedlings to start the native planting on this property. The group had a stunning day weather wise, and successfully planted many native Mānuka, Tī Kōuka, Karamū, Harakeke, and Kānuka.
Well done team!

We are so proud of our Year 7 and Year 8 netball teams who competed in the SEZ tournament today!

The teams all had an outstanding day in some incredible Auckland winter weather! Our Year 8 Boys finished 1st in their tournament. Our Year 7 Girls also finished 1st in their tournament and our Year 8 Girls placed 3rd overall.

An incredible day for MHJC sport and for our netball athletes, who showed great attitude and spirit throughout the day!
Well done! 🥇🥇🥉
