Kaitāia College in Northland went into lockdown for an hour on Wednesday after a fight broke out on school grounds, prompting some concerned parents to enter the campus.

Police were called to the scene at around 1:30 p.m. following reports of a trespasser, although the individual had left before officers arrived.

At 2 p.m., the school announced via social media that it was in lockdown and urged parents to stay away for safety reasons, as their presence could hinder the management of the situation.

The lockdown was lifted shortly before 3 p.m., with the school confirming that all students, staff, and others on-site were safe and accounted for.

School officials praised everyone’s cooperation during the incident and informed parents that more details would be provided later in the evening.
