Kia Ora Y10 and welcome to your English course page for 2024. My name is Dr. Mrs. (Rajesh) Joshi and I look forward to working with you.
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.
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 discuss how English class functions and important components of English learning. Also we will look back at our Y9 work & progress and plan our goals for our Y10. Please make sure you bring your reading & writing books, pencil case and laptop to the English class.
I wish you a great year ahead at Water/MHJC! We will work together to achieve our goals!
