21 February - 27 February

MHJC opened in 2009 on a site that had been bought from Sir William Manchester who is acknowledged in the Meeting Place next to the library.

Originally the land belonged to Ngai Tai ki Tamaki and we are fortunate to have strong links with the iwi and our whakapapa is acknowledged through the school haka. 

We are fortunate to have a modern buildings and equipment as well as a link with the past by acting as custodians of Tāne forest next to the college.

Our vision is to “grow greatness through innovative, constantly evolving personalised learning”

We value:

Pono/integrity which relates to how we manage ourselves – we encourage students to be reliable, responsible and trustworthy;

Awhinatanga/compassion or how we relate to others – we encourage students to be kind, compassionate and celebrate our unique cultural identities;

Whakamana/empowerment through learning – which includes prioritising how we learn using the Great Ako learning model, being digitally capable and responsible, and developing creativity and problem solving skills.

Our mission

At Mission Heights Junior College we recognise that every child is a valued and valuable individual and that within each child is a unique “grain of greatness” which it is our mission to grow.

A feature of our school is our intent to present learning in engaging, relevant and authentic contexts. We are keen to involve the community and real community issues in school life. Our school has also been designed and constructed to an “environmentally sustainable design” and caring for our environment is a key aspect of our school culture.
