The Sacred Hearts Girls' College saga continues.

Following the events of Friday night's fire, two 19-year-old women have been arrested and charged with arson on Sunday morning.

The fire destroyed two of the school's science classrooms. 

In a Facebook post, the school advised junior students stay from the school until Tuesday, due to the number of contractors on site conducting the post-fire clean-up.

However, senior students' NCEA exams will proceed as scheduled on Monday. 

"We are working with contractors to make the school safe for all so we can get back to normal as soon as possible." 

The pair are due to appear in Hamilton District Court on Wednesday.
