Principal's message

Mr A Backhouse

Henry Kendall High School is a vibrant public school on the Central Coast that believes strongly in student-centred learning and shared ownership. Our students are encouraged to take pride in their school and embrace the values of Belonging, Respect, Perseverance, and Curiosity.

We focus on “Personal Best” and our motto “Persevere,” teaching that success is about doing your best and learning from setbacks. Our vision is to inspire individuality, celebrate Public Education, and advocate for First Nations’ culture while promoting wellbeing and citizenship.

As a comprehensive school, we welcome students from all backgrounds equally, offering academic, cultural, sporting, and employment pathways. Students gain more than just results - they develop the resilience and understanding needed for life beyond school.

At Henry Kendall High School, every student is valued and encouraged to belong and succeed through active involvement and taking opportunities.
