Nelson Boys College was closed today because of an outbreak of gastro-enteritis in its boarding houses.
About 40% of the school's boarding students have been hit with what is thought to be the highly contagious and violent stomach bug, Norovirus.
The principal, Salvi Garguilo, says the boys are being well cared for at the school, helped by Nelson Hospital.
They will stay isolated until they are no longer contagious.
Nelson College will reopen on Monday.
