from flood-affected sites so lessons can resume
Principals of the most flood-damaged schools say it will be many weeks before they reopen their classrooms.
Floods have damaged more than 370 schools this year and seven are so badly affected they are still closed.
In Hawke's Bay, Eskdale School's classrooms were above Cyclone Gabrielle's floodwaters, but its grounds were still under a thick layer of silt and its septic system was broken.
The school's principal, Tristan Cheer, said the school was determined to reopen elsewhere and on Wednesday it started classes in sports club buildings at the Petane Domain with senior students bussing to a school that has spare classrooms.
