Yesterday it was revealed a student at Mt Albert Grammar had allegedly created a fake Gmail account, hacked into the school's email database, and then sent pornographic images to all students in the school.
The email address was then deactivated, Radio New Zealand reported.
Mt Albert Grammar school headmaster Dale Burden said the database was immediately closed down after parents notified the school.
