A tip provided to the NZ Herald from a person at the scene said the school was in lockdown after “armed gang members” were seen walking on campus, however the college confirmed that was not the case.
Police said they received a report of a possible threat to a Te Awamutu school.
“Police are conducting area inquiries and believe there is no threat at this time.”
The college was approached for a comment to which they said: “No lockdown, no comment.”
