Te Oko Horoi House Leaders - 2026

Timur Faulkner

House Prefect  

Kia Ora! I am one of your Te Oko Horoi House Prefects for 2026.

Our primary focus this year is to strengthen the bond TOH has within the house. Our house and leaders have a goal and a point to prove this year. We won’t stop at anything to ensure our goal for this house is met.

I am looking forward to building more connections and further strengthening old ones. The opportunities that I will be presented with throughout this year are priceless and I am honoured to be in this position.

2026 is going to be a year to remember, and it’s definitely one to look forward to.

Asalie Yiu

House Prefect 

Hello everyone! I’m looking forward to working with the other leaders to build a loud, proud, and supportive environment. My goal is to create the culture where everyone gives things a go, feels included, and has fun.

We are at our best when we show up, support each other, and bring high energy to every event—whether you’re the one competing or cheering from the sidelines.

This year, I want to motivate more people to participate, keep our house spirit high, and make sure everyone feels proud to be part of Te Oko Horoi.

Let’s do our best, work together to bring the House Shield back to where it belongs and make 2026 the best year yet! Up the Taniwha! 

Elin Gainsford

House Captain 

Kia Ora, I am very excited to lead our house this year. I can’t wait for what this year has to bring with house events and competitions.

I am someone who loves getting involved and stuck in with everyone in our house. I think its awesome when a bunch of people get involved whether that is something they like doing or is completely out of their comfort zone.

Some things I want to achieve this year is create a space where anyone is able to participate without feeling any judgement from anyone for giving something a go and maybe getting our hands on the house shield. If you ever need any help I am here for you.

Bianca Mace 

House Captain

I’m looking forward to being one of Te Oko Horoi’s House Captains for 2026. I love bringing people together and creating a positive atmosphere where students feel excited to represent TOH and inspired to compete in events.

This year I want to build up the house spirit and create a supportive and inclusive environment where everyone feels encouraged to get involved and participate in all of the upcoming events. With the mixture of athletics, swimming sports, house haka competition, and all the other amazing house events, we have so many opportunities to show the school how we participate and win.

I can’t wait to help bring our whole house together and make this the best year yet. Go the Taniwha!

Neeve Power

House Captain

Hi everyone! I’m so excited to be one of your Te Oko Horoi house captains this year! 

Over the year, I want to strive for an environment where everyone feels comfortable enough to participate and have fun during school events. I am an approachable and friendly person, so feel free to say hello, or even ask for advice when you see me around! 

Creating and maintaining a positive environment is very important to me, I want everyone to feel included and know they have room to grow and be themselves.

This year, I will work to inspire others to do their best, and to strive for any goals they may have, which includes winning the house shield! 

Bianka Ross

House Captain

As one of your TOH house captains I am excited to work alongside the other leaders to build a community where everyone feels comfortable to get involved and put their best self forward.

I believe that our best selves are built by stepping outside of our comfort zones and aiming as high as we can.

With lots of house spirit and positive attitudes I believe Te Oko Horoi can reach the top of the leaderboard securing the house shield in 2026. Up the taniwha!
