Senior students at a Lower Hutt college will be back learning from home next term

Hutt Valley High School is splitting the school week for Year 12 and 13 students after the discovery of black mould in a block of classrooms.

That means students will spend two-and-a-half days a week in the classroom, and two-and-a-half learning from home.

In a statement, the school says further testing is being carried out on the mould and they're discussing both short and long term options.
