Houses and Care Groups
The house culture at Henley High School shapes the foundation upon which students develop essential life skills and character. A positive house culture fosters an environment where diversity is celebrated, collaboration is encouraged, and a sense of belonging is cultivated. It becomes a microcosm of the wider world, preparing students for the challenges and opportunities they will encounter in their future endeavours.
Henley High School consists of five Houses:
Each House has a House Leader, a House Manager and a team of teachers who work together to provide a safe and supportive learning environment for all students. Students are placed into year levels and then into a House Care Group with a dedicated Care Group teacher.
Students in Years 7 to 10 are supported by the House Team and have many of their lessons with students of their House. Care Group and some lessons are also held within their specific House learning area and classrooms.
Activities, events and experiences delivered to strengthen house culture include Sports Day, Swimming Carnival, Breakfast Clubs, Year 12 Colour Run and regular house activities, games and challenges held throughout the year.
House Leaders and Managers
The House Leader and House Manager provides additional support to students with academic, social and attendance concerns. Parents/caregivers can also contact House Leaders and House Managers about issues that have not been resolved with the Care Group.
Care Group Teachers
The Care Group teacher is the first person parents/caregivers should contact when any issue is experienced. Care Group teachers will also contact parents/caregivers with any concerns that may arise.
Year 11 and 12 Coordinators
As the demands and complexity of schooling increases in Year 11 and 12 and attention shifts to completing school and beyond, students in these years are supported with a specific Year Level Coordinator.
The Year 11 and Year 12 Coordinators work with students to address SACE, VET, pathways and the many other elements that arise in senior school.
