Auckland Mathex Competition

Our Year 7 & 8 Mathex Teams attended the Auckland Mathex Competition last night. Quite a few MHJC parents were there to cheer and support our students too. It was one of the most exciting Mathex events to date and our 4 teams put up a great effort with incredible achievements.

Our Year 7 teams scored 80 points out of 100 and our Year 8 teams scored 90 and 75 points.

Congratulations to the students who attended!

Revolution Tour – Senior Students

On Friday, the Revolution Tour came back to MHJC and ran sessions with all of our Year 9 and 10 students.

The Revolution Tour travels across New Zealand and delivers inspiring messages to school students through story telling and positive, uplifting messages. They work to build youth resilience through equipping students with the tools and attitudes to bounce back from difficult situations. They also empower change by building greater social awareness and helping youth understand personal impact. Our senior students were definitely inspired by their sessions and throughly enjoyed how these important messages were shared. Thanks Revolution Tour!

MHJC Values – Ako/Learning to Learn

MHJC Values.

These values are an integral aspect of life at MHJC and all students continue to learn and demonstrate these values throughout their journey. These values are unpacked by the Great Learner Progression. Students are assessed against these progressions and this is reported on their ‘live’ Holistic Report, which will be discussed during their Student Led Conference later this term. The ‘live’ Holistic Report is accessible 24 hours a day and is updated weekly on Mission Heights Online.

Our second school value to be featured is 𝗔𝗸𝗼/𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻. Here, students are working to:

– use digital tools effectively to access and organise information

– use feedback to identify learning steps

– develop an understanding of how to help their developing brain

– use a range of thinking and learning strategies

Walk & Wheels Week

Next week (Week 5 – August 22nd – 25th) is Walk & Wheels Week. Students are encouraged to walk or bike/scooter to school, to be kind to the environment and to benefit their own health.

Please view the promotional poster below to learn more about next week!

Cultural Dress Day

The MHJC Cultural Council organised our annual Cultural Dress Day last Wednesday. As always, it was a big hit with 425 students participating and an excellent way to celebrate all the vibrant cultures that exist at MHJC. Students participated in either ‘Cultural Passion Wear’ or ‘Cultural Traditional Wear.’ Congratulations to all the participants and winners!
