Late Friday night, our 12 Year 10 delegates headed off to Singapore for the week to take part in the Hwa Chong Leaders’ Summit. Since arriving, they have been tourists taking in the Supertree Grove in Singapore’s Gardens by the Bay. They have also had a blast at Universal Studios. 🎢🎡
We look forward to hearing updates from the Leaders’ Summit once it begins this week.
This past Friday, MHJC, along with other schools and organisations across Aotearoa, celebrated 𝗣𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗦𝗵𝗶𝗿𝘁 𝗗𝗮𝘆.
This day is recognised across the globe as part of a powerful movement to spread aroha and kindness and end bullying. Students and staff in our kura wore pink for this reason and also participated in a colour run as part of the days’ events.🫶⭐️🩷
