A school in South Auckland says they have resumed classes after going into lockdown on Monday morning.
Aorere College in Papatoetoe has told parents on social media the school went into lockdown as a result of a number of adults coming onto school site.
The college said the adults were removed from school grounds without incident and all students are safe.
Police attended as a precautionary measure and the matter had been resolved, the statement said.
In a statement, police said they were called to Aorere College at about 11.10am on Monday after reports that an unknown group of people were trying to enter the school grounds.
"This group has presented as aggressive, and the school had gone into a self-initiated lockdown," police said.
Staff members escorted the group out of the school and prevented them from re-entering, police said.
Police said they remained at the school while the lockdown was lifted.
In June this year, Aorere College put itself into lockdown because of an "altercation" between families on the school's grounds.
The college posted on Facebook that police were on site and there was "no cause for alarm", with the lockdown later lifted.
A police spokesperson said they attended because of reports of disorder between a group of people, but no one was injured and no complaints had been made.
