A Far North teacher accused of attacking a student during class has made a brief appearance in court this morning.
The former Kaikohe Christian School teacher, whose name remains suppressed, is yet to enter a plea to the charge of assault on a child.
The man was stood down from his position shortly after the student's mother laid a complaint to police in October last year.
He is due to reappear in the Kaikohe District Court in May.
