A man charged with the arson of a rural Waikato school has appeared in court.
Milton Thomas Ngahere appeared in the Hamilton District Court this afternoon facing one charge of arson and four charges of intentional damage of Glen Massey School, near Ngaruawahia.
The arson charge relates to a fire at the school on September 6, while the damage charges relate to separate incidents of smashed windows dating back to July.
Through his lawyer Ann-Marie Beveridge, Ngahere was further remanded without plea until October for a psychiatric report.
The fire began in the school's 100-year-old classroom and closed the school for one day.
