Police are seeking information on the whereabouts of Alexander, who is missing in the Waiatarua area in west Auckland.
The 15-year-old was reported missing about 8.30pm on Monday, after he failed to return home from school.
Alexander was dropped off at Henderson High School where he was last seen at about 8.15am that day.
Police have since established he did not attend school that day.
They believe that since Alexander was last seen, he has returned to his home address in Oratia and taken camping equipment and other necessities.
He did not show up to a planned meeting with friends on Monday night.

Search and Rescue staff are deploying to carry out searching around parts of Waiatarua where he frequents.
Alexander is an avid outdoor adventurer and loves spending time in the bush, police say.
It is out of character for him to not return home or let his family know of his whereabouts.
Police and Alexander's family have concerns for his welfare.
He is described as 180 centimetres tall, of medium build with light brown straight hair.
Anyone with information about his whereabouts is asked to contact police immediately on 111.
People can also update police online or call 105 using the reference number 250616/4732.
