It was prizegiving at James Cook High School in Manurewa but for one minute the school fell silent.
It was to pay respects to the young girl that died in a tragic accident last night.
Just a few hundred metres away from the school at Mountford Park the four-year-old girl was killed after being crushed by a scrum machine.
The death has been referred to the coroner and the Manurewa Rugby club as well as police are still trying to understand what exactly has happened.
Manurewa-Papakura Ward Councillor Daniel Newman said this morning the club was in shock and planned to return to the scene today.
