Leadership
Developing leadership skills is very important at David Henry School. Our senior children are given opportunities to lead. This is through being a Student Councillor, WHARE Kaitiaki or a House Leaders.
The purpose for having a Student Council and our WHARE kaitiaki was to empower the students by giving them a real voice and real responsibility in the running of the school where appropriate. These students work with Taki (Project Energize) on organising games, conflict resolution and leadership.
Every fortnight the Student Councillors and WHARE Kaitiaki meet with Miss Placid (Principal)
