Auckland high school closed for two days due to student brawl

A brawl between students led an Auckland high school to shut its doors for two days so that “emotions” could cool down, NZ Herald reports. Police were called to the fight at about 2.19pm on Wednesday, and Papakura High School principal Simon Craggs said the school will remain closed Thursday and Friday to give his team time “to investigate and for emotions to return to normal within the school”. “We have a wonderful student body and this is not reflective of the general values, attitudes and actions of the vast majority of our students,” Craggs added.
