Auckland’s Onehunga High School in lockdown incident after medical event
A medical event has led to a secondary school being locked down this morning.
Onehunga High School went into lockdown about 11am and lifted about an hour later, the school wrote on its Facebook page.
“[It was] due to a medical event at Central Auckland Specialist School.”
The specialist school is “for students who have an intellectual disability, many of whom also have physical, sensory or behavioural difficulties”, according to its website.
Parents and caregivers were contacted by email and information was also provided on the school website about the lockdown, Onehunga High wrote on its Facebook page.
“The situation was well managed and the lockdown has now ended. Our students and staff responded extremely well and followed all instructions throughout.
“Thank you to our school community for your understanding and co-operation.”
