High Expectations, Warm Welcome, and Future Focus
We provide a knowledge-rich learning environment supported by an exceptional range of academic pathways. Our innovative curriculum offers a full spectrum of mainstream core education while incorporating a variety of non-traditional subjects. We have developed outstanding capability in the application of new technologies, ensuring our digital classrooms constantly evolve to include cutting-edge tools like drones, programming devices, 3D printing, CNC routers, and laser-cutting technologies. To recognise excellence, scholarships are available for students who demonstrate outstanding capability in Academic, Arts, Music, Te Ao Māori, Sports, or Technology areas.
For every new student, a comprehensive induction programme and a well-developed Student Support system ensure a positive and happy transition from intermediate to secondary school. While our priority is to empower all students to achieve their highest academic potential, we complement this rigor with excellent programmes in Sports, Music, and the Arts, bringing passion and balance to their lives. Strategic community partnerships on our campus further inspire students and open pathways to future opportunities.
Our commitment is simple: We blend high expectations with genuine care to ensure every student is not just educated, but empowered to lead the next generation of innovators and leaders.
At Henderson High School, our vision is to empower our students with the knowledge to succeed and change their world for the better. We maintain a high standard of academic excellence, reflected in our students’ academic performance.
