Henderson High School is a well-resourced, positive environment for students and staff. We are focused on enhancing our teaching practice in line with cognitive science research, and ensuring our curriculum is knowledge-rich and flexible. The latest technology is used to support learning and develop the skills needed for today and tomorrow’s world.

Our NCEA achievement is excellent and each student has the opportunity to build a broad and deep foundation of knowledge that allows them to innovate, to communicate and to participate in society in meaningful ways.
