More secondary school students will be allowed back as Covid restrictions ease, but as Mount Albert Grammar School headmaster Patrick Drumm says not all schools will be racing kids back into the classroom. Video / NZ HeraldAs the number of cases in the Delta outbreak grows, an increasing number of cases are popping up in schools - especially around Auckland. In the past week or so at least seven schools have had to take action after a person from the school tested positive for the virus. Pakuranga Heights School also stayed closed this week after an infectious student was at the school from November 8 -12. A teacher at Auckland's Sacred Heart College also tested positive for Covid after teaching two classes while potentially infectious on November 5.
