Workers from the Australian Gas Network were called to fix the problem.

An Education department spokesperson said classes were held as normal and children were kept indoors “as a precaution”.

“No-one was affected and the leak was fixed,” the spokesperson said, adding the gas leak came the other side of a boundary fence.

All students were told they could go outside by lunchtime.

Firefighters from Cranbourne and Narre Warren were in attendance.

It’s understood police were also called to the school.
