Henley Primary School, Nelson, New Zealand

Welcome to Henley School, Richmond, Nelson

Kia ora, I'm John Armstrong , the principal of Henley School. I commenced working here in Term 1, 2009. I am married to Rebecca (also a teacher) and we have a daughter called Rosie and a son called Tom. I am particularly excited about being principal of Henley School. This is a school that has a fine reputation in the Nelson region and also further afield.

Today’s Board of Trustees and Parent Liaison Group, in conjunction with a dedicated staff, strive to provide a quality education for every student who attends the school in order to help your child to develop his/her natural abilities to the fullest extent. The resources and equipment available to use are second to none and are continually upgraded to meet the demands of our modern society.

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.

I look forward to meeting you and showing you around the school.
