A fire in a classroom at Crawshaw School in Nawton is being treated as suspicious.
Pukete station officer Shane Thomas said the fire was out on arrival, but appeared to be arson.
The door of the classroom had been set on fire and a hole around the door was visible.
The fire was caught just in time, he said.
Children were at the school when fire trucks from Hamilton central and Pukete stations arrived.
