He aha te mea nui o te ao. He tāngata, he tāngata, he tāngata
What is the most important thing in the world? It is people, it is people, it is people.
Kia ora. Welcome back to week two at MHJC. I hope you had a good first week, meeting your teachers and classmates and finding your place in Mountains Whanau. Please remember we are all here to help you if you feel lost, or unsure. Ask for help - any staff member or student will be more that happy to support you. This week, we are going to continue getting to know each other, and settle into our timetables and routines. One of the ways people share who they are and what they stand for is food. Have a think about what your favourite food is, what represents you, your whanau and your culture. If you had to offer a food item to a stranger that introduces 'you' what would it be?
