Our four Wh\u0101nau, or schools within a school are central to everything we do at MHJC. They operate as physically independent learning communities of approximately 200 students and 12 staff,\u00a0 led by two experienced senior leaders. This model promotes collaborative teaching and learning, close monitoring, tracking and support of students and healthy participation in community activities. Students are allocated to a Wh\u0101nau on entry to the school and will almost always remain a part of that community. Staff may be moved between Wh\u0101nau where timetabling needs dictate.<\/p>\n

Each of our Whanau represent the physical features and beauty of\u00a0 New Zealand\/Aotearoa – Coast (Takutai), Forest (Ngahere), Water (Wai) and Mountains (Maunga). These are represented in our logo by the 4 coloured koru, gold, green, blue and white.<\/p>\n

Teachers usually teach classes within one Wh\u0101nau and will be aligned with a Wh\u0101nau for activities, competitions and events. Students and staff both enter into the spirit of the Wh\u0101nau community which provides a strong sense of fun, pride and belonging. Leadership and other opportunities are seamlessly provided within the Wh\u0101nau as is the four year transition of students from primary to senior secondary school.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
