About 250,000 school students are learning from home for the duration of alert level 3 and principals have said some would find a longer lockdown difficult, because they did not have internet connections at home.
They said the fact the lockdown was happening so early in the year presented its own challenges.
Albany Senior High School principal Claire Amos said the school started the year with a plan for dealing with another lockdown but Sunday s announcement was still a shock.
