Henley School

Description

Henley school has 24 classrooms, (nine having been built in the last few years) with 23 class teachers. In addition, the school boasts an excellent Library as well as a fully carpeted all-purpose room provided by the community. In October 2000, the Minister of Education, Trevor Mallard, opened our school hall, which has the capacity to seat 600 children, and includes a carpeted meeting room, kitchen and a “group work” room.

During 2004, the Prime Minister, Helen Clark, opened our new Learning Centre which includes a library, Computer Suite and a central resource area.

Henley is privileged to have spacious landscaped grounds including a large hardcourt area, and three adventure playgrounds.  These grounds are a community asset and are available for general use during out of school hours.

Henley School, Henley Kindergarten, Waimea Intermediate and Waimea College make up a unique educational complex that is sited on an extensive area of unfenced land. All schools co-operate to share facilities.
