  Welcome back from the holidays. Would you believe that this is your final term at MHJC. So here we lay down the challenge to you: "How might we use the values & skills we have  grown at MHJC so that we can be informed, responsible members of society?” 

  Whakataukī: “Mā te kimi ka kite, Mā te kite ka mōhio, Mā te mōhio ka mārama”             

  Metaphorical: Seek and discover. Discover and know. Know and become enlightened.

  Literal: This whakatauki (saying) challenges us to view learning as a journey. It starts with a conscious effort to seek knowledge. Upon seeking, you will surely discover a brand new thing or see a familiar object in a totally new light. Eventually, the things you know will lead you to become wise beyond your years. Seek. Discover. Know. Be enlightened.
