Students go back to school with voluntary masking

From First Up, 5:37 am on 3 May 2022

It was back to school for students around the country yesterday, the first time they had class under the orange Covid traffic light setting. At orange, masks are encouraged but not mandatory indoors so schools can self determine what rules should apply to their own students and staff. Our producer Matthew Theunissen spoke with Secondary Principals Association president and principal of Papatoetoe High School, Vaughan Couillault, and asked how the first day went.
