Queenstown Primary School’s day "continued as usual" after it received a threatening email sent to several schools in New Zealand.
Police were making inquiries yesterday after "a number of schools across New Zealand received threatening emails" a spokeswoman said.
"We know emails of this nature can cause significant fear and concern, however it is important to note that so far we have not established any actual threat to any school."
Queenstown Primary School principal Fiona Cavanagh confirmed the school received the email yesterday morning.
It had sought advice from the Ministry of Education and police, with police visiting the school, Ms Cavanagh said.
The school was following its crisis management guidelines, but there was "no lockdown" and the school day was continuing as usual.
An email would go out to parents informing them about the situation, she said.
Other schools in the area were not affected.
Shotover Primary School, Glenorchy School, Arrowtown School and Wakatipu High School all said they had not been targets of the threat. — Allied Media
