School attendance is again in decline, with less than half of students regularly attending.
Education Ministry data shows 47% were regularly going to school in term two, down from 59.5% in term one.
It's an increase on just 40% in term two last year.
Secondary Principals Association President Vaughan Couillault told Mike Hosking that you can only compare like for like.
He says term one in anyone's life has less cold and flu than term two and three due to the winter effect.
