    Schools are preparing for a dip in student attendance the day after Waitangi Day

    Schools are preparing for a dip in student attendance the day after Waitangi Day


    Westlake Girls High School's holding an online learning day this Friday, requiring students and teachers to work remotely.

    Other schools like Westlake Boys and Auckland Grammar are closed.

    Secondary Schools Principals' Association's Vaughan Couillault says they've seen abysmal attendance on days like Friday in the past.

    He says that's parents turning those days into a long weekend.
