Two Christchurch Boys' High School students have been suspended after filming a video of a teacher and uploading it to a porn website

Christchurch Boys' High School (CBHS) headmaster Nic Hill confirmed to NZME that there had been more than one incident involving cellphones, and they had been referred to police and online security company Netsafe.

"We have sent boys to the board of trustees for incidents involving cellphones," he said, but refused to discuss details.

NZME reports the female worker took leave after the incident, but has since returned to work.

CBHS has also clamped down on phone use at school, instructing parents and pupils that "a clear and specific instruction from a teacher" was now required.

"The teacher is in control of the classroom," Mr Hill wrote to parents. "This decision has been made after some incidents involving the use of cellphones in class that are contrary to the school values and that do come under the Harmful Digital Communications Act.

"I have been heartened that students have reported the recent incidents to me. This confirms that most of our students have a clear moral code and will take a stand when this is crossed."

Christchurch police confirmed that a complaint had been received.

"[We] are working alongside the school to ascertain what has actually occurred and who are involved," said Detective Sergeant Daniel Isherwood.

Netsafe would not confirm its involvement.
