Pakenham Hills Primary School students were evacuated from schools grounds following a gas-leak on Thursday morning, 28 February.
Students and visitors were taken by staff to the school’s offsite evacuation point at the Baptist Church on Army Road.
Emergency services attended the incident which occurred near the school’s art room.
Within 30 minutes the school was declared safe, all returned and no one was harmed.
“Our emergency management plan was enacted and everything went well,” principal Dale Hendrick said.
“We all did a good job. The teachers and staff went about what they were supposed to do and it was a successful evacuation.”
