Henderson Primary School was founded in the very centre of Henderson in 1873. This makes us one of the oldest schools in New Zealand.
As a school we have a proud tradition and history, but our focus is on the future. Our goal as educators is to nuture our children so they develop the attitudes, values and skills which will prepare them for an interesting, challenging, diverse and exciting future.
