    Kia Ora Y10 and welcome to your English course page for 2022. This is where you will find all the necessary information required for your English course such as Learning Intentions and Success Criteria. All tasks, activities and assessments will be placed here as well as additional lesson notes and resources. Please make it a habit to check this page at the start of each week. It will ensure that you are aware of any expectations we may have of you at that time.

    This is your last year at MHJC and together we aim to make it the best year. Continue to grow your greatness and demonstrate that you practice the school values 'Learning to Learn (Ako), Compassion (Awhinatanga) Integrity (Pono) and Life-Long Learner (Wānanga)' in word and spirit. 

    Feel free to see me or email me if you have any questions/concerns about your learning. My email address is: rjoshi@mhjc.school.nz

    Since I have never taught you before, this week we will get to know each other. We will also reflect on the lessons given in the following speech. Also you will write a letter to your future self. Where do you see yourself at the end of 2022? What are your goals and aspirations for 2022? What areas of your life do you wish to improve upon? How do you wish to spend your last year at MHJC? Be honest and realistic. You will give me the printed copy of this letter which I will return to you at the end of the year.

    "Welcome to Tāmaki Herenga Waka: Stories of Auckland. You can reach the exhibition from the left side of Te Ao Mārama, the South Atrium. Step through the entranceway and pause for a moment. To your left, you’ll see the many people and places of Auckland.

    This gallery takes its name from a whakataukī, or proverb, about Tāmaki Makaurau – the region you might know as Auckland. Tāmaki herenga waka means ‘Tāmaki, the gathering place of many waka’. The area has long been a desirable place to live, with its storied maunga and sparkling sea, and continues to bring people together.

    Tāmaki is a land of layered histories and diverse communities. In these galleries, you will meet some Aucklanders you might have heard of and others who are lesser known. You might learn new stories about places you thought you knew well or discover ones you’ve never been to.

    When we move around Auckland, we move through a landscape that has been lived on and enjoyed for generations. And we encounter people who are always innovating and pushing ahead. Here are just some of Auckland’s stories. What’s yours?"
