Mission Statement: Inspiring and empowering our Tamariki to connect, grow, share, achieve and lead in and ever changing world.
Welcome to David Henry School!
Kia ora and a warm welcome to David Henry School — a small, family-focused school nestled in the heart of Tokoroa. Our town is centrally located in the upper North Island, making us a vibrant part of the South Waikato community.
At David Henry, we believe every child has a spark — and it’s our job to help ignite it. Whether it’s through academics, sports, the arts, leadership, or service, we offer a wide range of opportunities for our learners to discover their talents, passions, and interests. For many, this is a life-changing journey, and we’re honoured to be a part of it.
We’re proud of our dedicated and talented team who work closely with our tamariki, their whānau, and the wider community. Relationships are at the heart of everything we do — and it’s through these strong connections that we create multiple pathways for success.
At David Henry School, every child is valued. We believe that all children can learn — and it’s our responsibility to make sure they’re given every chance to shine and reach their full potential.
We can’t wait to welcome you into our school whānau!
