Waitakere College is a Secondary College located in the middle of West Auckland, New Zealand. It caters for students from years 9 up to 13, for those that stay behind to earn more qualifications.
Students entering the college are allocated into one of three "Houses". The house names use Maori words, Aroha (Love), Manawanui (Perseverance), and Matauranga (Knowledge). During the course of the year students can earn points for there house with good behaviour in class and good marks. These points are added up every week in a House Assembly to determine the winner for that particular week. This also happens at the end of terms and a final one at the end of the year shows which house has won with the most points. The winning house for the year 2007 was Matauranga with 2,750 points.
