  Tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou katoa!
  

  Kia Ora Y7 and welcome to your English course page for 2022. My name is Mrs. (Rajesh) Joshi and I will be your teacher of English this year. I was born and brought up in India. I moved to New Zealand about eight years back.

  This page 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. This will ensure that you are aware of any expectations we may have of you at that time.

  I wish you a great year ahead at Water/MHJC and hope that together we will be able to grow our greatness. 

  Demonstrate that you practice the school values 'Learning to Learn (Ako), Compassion (Awhinatanga) Integrity (Pono) and Life-Long Learner (Wānanga)' in word and spirit. Learn and enjoy while you are here. Feel free to see me or email me if you have any concerns/questions about your learning. My email address is: rjoshi@mhjc.school.nz

  This  is a short week. We will get to know each other.
