After three months at home, Auckland students will be allowed back in the school gates next week.

But for primary and intermediates it will only be part time to minimise the Covid risk.

The government says with safety measures in place, the benefits of children returning outweighs the risk of Covid-19.

Parents - and students - are rejoicing. Jordan Bond reports.
