Auckland principals are confident this week s lockdown will have little impact on children s learning - as long as it is only for three days.
Rowandale School principal Karl Vasau says the community appears to be better prepared for dealing with the latest lockdown.

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.
