A large high school on Auckland’s North Shore is closed for the day because it does not have enough water.<\/p>\n
In a message to parents, Takapuna Grammar School said more than two thirds of the school was without a functioning water supply, leaving it with only two or three useable toilet blocks and one working water fountain.<\/p>\n
It said that was not sufficent to safely accomodate its 2200 students, and the school would be closed on Wednesday. It described the water supply problem as “ongoing”.<\/p>\n
School work would be posted online and students could email teachers if they needed help.<\/p>\n
RNZ has approached Takapuna Grammar for comment.<\/p>\n
