Thrive Programme at MHJC

🌟 Thrive Programme at MHJC – Term 4 Enrolments Open! 🌟

Thrive classes help students grow real-world skills that go far beyond the classroom.
In engaging, interactive 30-minute sessions held during the school day, students learn to speak with clarity, listen actively, and think critically.
Our programme builds confidence, communication, courtesy and creative thinking – the very skills that set young people up for success at school and in life.

Lessons cost $220 per term, and every new student is welcome to start with a free trial lesson in Week 1 of Term 4.

Week 10 Reminders

A few key reminders for this final week of Term 3 . . .

𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐤𝐞𝐬 – 𝟏𝟕𝐭𝐡 & 𝟏𝟖𝐭𝐡 𝐒𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫
Partial strikes have been planned. On these dates, PPTA members will not teach, instruct or supervise students in certain year levels but continue to teach all other students on those days.

The school will be unable to teach the group on the date specified and so the students in the Year Levels below are asked to learn from home on that day. While they are at home they are to continue their studies with the use of our digital platforms.

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

Silver at AIMS

CONGRATULATIONS to our Netball Team and their historic Silver Medal at AIMS Games!

The team had an incredible week, with high quality playing, and amazing grit and perseverance. The team worked well together and were always there to lift each other up.

A special mention to their coach – Miss Young – for her steadfast coaching.

A Silver at the National Level! MHJC is so proud of this Netball Team!

Our Basketball team is having a great tournament so far with a great win yesterday and a very close loss. They’ve also been out to support our undefeated Netball team. Both groups are enjoying their week in Tauranga so far and are having a blast – teachers too!
