Police appealing for information about suspicious fire
A fire at an Invercargill school is being treated as suspicious, police say.
Invercargill police are appealing for information following the fire at Waihopai School on Saturday morning.
Police and Fire and Emergency NZ (Fenz) were called to the primary school, on Herbert St, about 2.50am.
The alarm system and the quick response from firefighters meant there was only minor damage and no reported injuries, a police spokeswoman said. The fire is being treated as deliberate and an investigation was under way.
Anyone who saw suspicious activity in the area around the time of the fire or who had information on the incident is asked to contact police on 03 2110400 or give information anonymously by calling Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
