The Southern Regional Health School is a school for children who are sick.
We are a state school for students from Years 1 to 13 who are too ill to attend full-time education at their usual school. We teach students anywhere in the South Island.
Teachers at the Southern Regional Health School work with students, their families and their schools to keep up students' learning during their illness and to help them return to full-time education at their school as quickly as possible.

On the 15th July the Board and Staff of the school joined with invited guests at a morning tea to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the school’s establishment.
The Board Chair, Chris Bridges spoke briefly to the assembly about the school’s progress through the decade and paid a special tribute to Kevin Smith the establishment Board Chair who retired from the board at the last appointment round earlier this year.
Here you will find a letter from the Associate Education Minister responsible for special education, The Hon. Heather Roy congratulating the school on its success and thanking Kevin Smith for his commitment to assuring the school’s success.
The Northern Health School’s Board Chair, Richard Abel spoke of the special relationship health schools share and presented SRHS with a book to mark the occasion.
The Principal, Chris Parsons, thanked a number of our close associates and praised successive governments for the very high quality of the New Zealand education system and in particular services for those who for some reason find themselves outside the mainstream.
Following the morning tea, teachers were treated to some high quality professional learning on Raising Maori Student Potential. On Friday the learning was focussed on the preparation of asynchronous (on-line) lessons for students at a distance.
