Firefighters are set to return to the scene of a large fire at Taupō’s biggest school.
Crews have contained the blaze at Taupō-nui-a-Tia College that broke out on Sunday afternoon.
It’s left a teaching block significantly damaged.
The school will be closed today.
Local MP Louise Upston said the school and the Ministry of Education would minimise the disruption to students.
The ministry will meet with school staff today to assess the damage.
Board chairperson Michelle Barnett said the building houses several classrooms.
Fire and Emergency NZ said scene guards have been in place overnight and crews will be returning during daylight hours.
