Parawhau House Leaders - 2026
Carter Milne
House Prefect
Throughout my high school life, I’ve set myself the goal of working through academics and sporting, rather than leadership. But today, I find myself representing Parawhau as a house prefect, an honour I am grateful for.
Through high school, my greatest regret was limiting myself. Throughout my previous years at CHS, I would often avoid house competitions, exclude myself from school activities, and pass up opportunities. Becoming a house prefect gave me the motivation to change my limiting mindset. It pushed me to involve myself in the experiences I was missing out on and make the most of every opportunity.
So, the one piece of advice that I would give to every high schooler; Take every opportunity you can, you can only get stronger.
Erin Silcock
House Prefect
As a prefect this year, I’m really looking forward to working alongside my Parawhau team and the senior exec to help build our school spirit. I believe leadership isn’t necessarily about being the loudest or best in the room but seeing the best in others and encouraging them to show it. It’s also about setting high standards through your actions, supporting others, and being someone people feel comfortable approaching.
I’m excited to be involved in the events and opportunities presented to me this year, and I hope to encourage others to get involved, step outside their comfort zones, and make the most of every opportunity they get.
This year I will be leading with enthusiasm and hopefully bringing Parawhau out on top!!!
Samantha Baird

I’m excited to serve as a 2026 Parawhau House Captain and represent our house this year. I want to lead by example, support those around me, and help create an environment where everyone feels confident to get involved.
I’m looking forward to working alongside my Parawhau team to make the most of every opportunity and encourage others to step up and give things a go. I can’t wait to see what we achieve together in 2026.

Hi, I'm Lily and I'm excited to be a House Captain for Parawhau again this year. I'm really looking forward to all of the house events, and seeing Parawhau hopefully on top again!

Tom Harty
House Captain
I am proud to be a House Captain for Parawhau and to represent a house that has such strong pride and spirit. This year, I want to help make Parawhau a place where everyone feels included, supported, and motivated to get involved. I believe good leadership is about leading by example, being approachable, and always trying to do the right thing.
I am passionate about encouraging others to step outside their comfort zones, whether that’s through sport, cultural events, academics, or helping out around the school.
My goal is to strengthen the connections within Parawhau and contribute positively to the wider school community. I’m looking forward to the year ahead and the chance to make a difference.
