| Totara House 2026: Blessing + Dedication Assembly Term 1 |
Totara House dedicates Term 1 and Term 2 each year to collaboratively establish its core House values. This respectful and inclusive process is led by the House leaders, who visit mentor classes across all year levels to ask students directly: 'What do you want Totara House to represent?' The leaders diligently gather all student feedback, which is then used by the leadership team to determine the final, simple, and clear values that will guide Totara House for the academic year.

After discussing and unpacking the student feedback this year, the leaders identified a clear and powerful theme: students want Totara House to represent genuine togetherness and unwavering commitment to their learning and collective work as a house. Inspired by this student voice, the Totara House Leaders proudly chose Unity and Discipline as our core values for the year. These values will motivate us to stand stronger together and dedicate ourselves to achieving individual and collective excellence.

| Totara House: House Values Assembly Term 2 |
In Week 4 of Term 2, our House Leaders proudly revealed our core Totara House Values for 2026: Unity and Discipline. Students have already begun to exercise these expectations, most notably during the recent Inter-Whanau Turbo Touch tournament, where Unity represented Kotahitanga (togetherness) in our teamwork and Discipline guided our commitment and effort. We look forward to seeing these values further explored and reinforced during the upcoming House events for Samoan Language Week, scheduled for Week 7, as we continue to build our collective strength and dedication to excellence as a whanau.

Totara House is committed to executing our core values of Unity and Discipline. Unity, or kotahitanga, ensures we move forward as one team, lifting each other up, while Discipline provides the structured, focused mindset required for success. We honor the excellence demonstrated by our alumni, former House Prefects 2022 Lakai Vaisima and Lisia Pauu, who showcased this discipline by graduating with their Bachelor of Arts degrees from the University of Auckland. Their success inspires our House; our hope is that as a House, we will unite and lead with discipline to make Totara House great.
