Te Koo Utu House Leaders - 2026
Georgia Bertrand
House Prefect
I'm super excited to be representing the Sharks as a Te Koo Utu Prefect for 2026! I've always loved being a part of the Sharks, and my goal this year is to continue the strong spirit, pride, and values that make Te Koo Utu such a positive and supportive house.
I aim to encourage everyone to give everything a go, support younger Sharks as they find their place, and help build a strong sense of belonging within our house.
By promoting teamwork and school pride, I hope to keep the energy that makes Te Koo Utu special. I'm excited to work alongside everyone and celebrate our achievements throughout the year. Up the Sharks!
Daniel Hughes
House Prefect
I have reached my final year of high school, and it’s starting to dawn on me how much fun it has been and how quickly it is all going to end.
This experience has made me incredibly excited to represent Te Koo Utu as one of the 2026 House Prefects, alongside Georgia, so that I may help the other students in my house enjoy their time here.
I want to continue to grow the house spirit that has been built up by the past Prefects, which has made Te Koo Utu the amazing, welcoming house that it is, and I can’t wait to see what this year brings for all the students of CHS. Up the Sharks!
Zak Anderson
House Captain
Hey team, stoked to be one of the Te Koo Utu House captains for 2026. This year I want to get the most out of our house at every house event, especially all the participation events. We are also trying to back up our great effort from last year as we won the house competition and are looking to be the first house to go back-to-back.
Some things I enjoy doing are being out outdoors, hunting and fishing. I also love chasing a ball around playing rugby, basketball and cricket. If you see me around school, come say hi. Once again, I am truly grateful for this opportunity.
Maia Gaiger
House Captain
I love being in Te Koo Utu and upholding a great house spirit. I hope that through being house captain, I can help uphold that awesome TKU spirit!
I am enthusiastic and passionate about participating in school events which helps get us house points! As a house, we strive for as much participation as possible, and to do well and have fun in all the events we take part in. I’m happy to help and answer any questions people have about the house and the school so if you see me around the school, feel free to say hi!
I am so excited to be a Te Koo Utu leader this year and grateful for the opportunity.
Livvie Taylor
House Captain
My main goal for 2026 is to get involved with everything that I can. I don't want to leave high school with regrets because I missed an opportunity.
I want to grow in my leadership and make unforgettable memories with friends and classmates. I want to help other people have fun and enjoy their time at high school because it is only limited. I want to grow out of my comfort zone, form new bonds and connections, and have fun with people who aren’t just my core friends. I want everyone around me to feel like they belong and can enjoy being at school.
I look forward to seeing where this year leads.
Blake Urbahn
House Captain
Being part of Te Koo Utu, I’m proud to represent a house with an overall strong spirit and sense of community. This year, I’m focused on building energy, connection, and healthy competition across the school — especially when it comes to the house competitions.
I want to help create a year where everyone feels encouraged to get involved, back themselves, and give things a go, whether that’s in sport, academics, arts, or other events. I stand for effort, pride, and showing up for your team.
My goal is simple: help make this a year we’ll remember, strengthen house culture, and push Te Koo Utu to the top.
