    SCHOOL TOUR OF MHJC:

    https://online.mhjc.school.nz/pluginfile.php/203619/course/section/445952/School%20Tour.pdf


    Our learning focus for the term is Connecting and Reconnecting. We hope to reconnect with families of our students and extend a very warm welcome to all families new to Coast/Takutai whanau. We look forward to connecting with you all!


    We have had a few parents concerned about their child's learning when they are not able to attend school due to the Ministry of Health’s Covid Guidelines (isolating while waiting for testing results etc).    

    We have already put in place the following for Online Learning at Home:

    • We have spoken to all the students and they know how to access their learning from home through the use of our digital platforms.

    • Curriculum activities for all subjects can be found on Mission Heights Online, where they can see the Learning Intentions, Success Criteria and the activities they are to do.

    • All students have access to their Google Classroom, which provides other resources to support their learning. 

    • Students will have weekly Maths Buddy, Reading Plus and Education Perfect tasks to be completed. 


    Should your child need any support, they can email their class teacher or Learning Advisor.  Your child can also join their usual in-school class remotely, using GoogleMeet. The best way to do this is to email the teacher, who will assign a student to open GoogleMeet. This ongoing support will start as of Monday, 14 February.


    We hope that this will help keep students connected with their teachers and friends in Coast Whanau. 


    Your child is required to check in with their Learning Advisor each Friday 9.30am -10.30am for LA time if working from home.

    A friendly reminder of 'Google Meet' protocol:

    • Microphones and cameras are to be switched on for meetings (teachers may ask for microphones to be muted at intervals, if a large class is in attendance).


    Please be assured that when you contact us in the Whanau,  Mrs Remedios (Coast Whanau Student Services) records why your child is absent as we would for any absence. If it is related to Covid this is not discussed with others, nor are the students’ vaccination status disclosed.

    It is important that you inform us if your child’s absence is Covid related, so that we can ensure that your child is supported with distance learning while away from school.

    Please remind your child to see Mrs Remedios once they are back at school.


    Our very best wishes to your child and to your whole family during the upcoming weeks.


    He waka eke noa - we are all in this together...


    Warmest regards,
