It has been an absolute honor to be the captains of Field House 2016.

An amazing year has passed and we are beyond proud of our House and the amazing spirit and atmosphere our kids bring. Our House members continue everyday to display the MANA values within our school and on competition days. We feel a great sense of accomplishment as captains to lift our House’s position from last year, and we know that none of this would've been possible without the help from all of our tight knit Papa Whenua family members, and for that we would like to extend our thanks.

We would also like to thank our House staff. Mrs Tatana, Mr Ellwood, Mr O’Dea, Mr Mitchell, and Whaea Lil. Your endless support and high spirits helped fuel the positive attitudes that radiated through our house.

And finally our Dean, Mrs Brown and assistant dean Miss Park. Without the endless kind words, motivational speeches and hard work, we could never have the unbelievable results we ended up with. Thank you for everything you do.

Good luck to the future potential House captains, and leaders. We believe all of you have the potential to lead and shape our House in many different positive ways.

Field house will forever be an important part of our high-school careers and it has been a great privilege to be your House captains for 2016. We wish nothing but good things for the future of our Papa Whenua family and we hope you keep us in the loop for the House's future endeavors.
