High school in lockdown
Bayfield High School in Dunedin has gone into lockdown with students being asked to stay home.
In a statement on the school’s website on Tuesday morning, it said the “school is in lock down effective immediately.”
It continued, “all students on site will be held safely. Please keep your son or daughter at home if they have not left for school yet.”
A police cordon is in place outside the school and there is a large armed police presence.
In a statement, police say they are making enquiries into a threatening email sent to the school on Tuesday morning.
Bayfield High School also went into lockdown in December 2023 after receiving an online threat.
