A 10-year-old girl had to be plucked from a locked school after-hours by emergency services after she fell asleep in a classroom.
The student woke up before 7pm on Monday at the Mossfiel Primary School, Hoppers Crossing in Melbourne, Wyndham TV said.
She found herself in the class on her own and was able to leave the room but couldn’t get out of the school – so she called triple zero.
