Mould closes part of HVHS
Hutt Valley High School’s acting principal says the Ministry of Education have failed to act on the school’s leaking buildings which they have known about for years.
Some Hutt Valley High School students will spend half of their time studying from home next term after the school’s toxic mould problem was found in more classrooms.
Acting principal Denise Johnson told Radio New Zealand the ministry had known for some time it would cost millions of dollars to address leaking buildings which had led to the mould issues.
