When students are enrolled at Totara College, they are immediately placed in a house group. The house groups are named after key figures or groups in the Bible’s Old Testament:
The house groups are under House Leaders who lead them in sports and other challenges during the course of the year. Each event gives points towards the overall House shield which is awarded at the end of year prizegiving.
The purpose of House group events is to promote the following:
Opportunities for the whole school to come together, despite the large age ranges, and for the older ones to learn how to look after the younger ones (Tuakana-Teina relationships). The younger ones may also need to learn how to give appropriate respect to their elders. This facilitates family type relationships or ‘whanaungatanga’.
