Staffing shortages caused by Covid-19 have forced Tauranga Girls College into a hybrid online learning model.
School principal Tara Kanji told the Bay of Plenty Times they had switched to the hybrid learning model to ease staffing pressure.
Students in Years 11 to 13 would learn from home using Google Classroom for the rest of the week. Junior students would continue to learn onsite, Kanji said.
She said a shortage of relievers was putting the school "under pressure". Some relievers were becoming fatigued and others were being used by other schools.
A number of staff members were absent this week for various reasons - including some that were isolating.
