the second school to go into lockdown
in Auckland on Friday.
It asks parents and caregivers not to come to the school.
"Please do not come to the school or phone the school as we will be unable to attend to you and this may cause disruption to the management of the incident and could potentially place yourself and/or staff or students' safety at risk."
Papakura High School say they will post an update when the lockdown has been completed.
Police have been approached for comment.
