Fran Clarke, who works in the school administration, said she arrived at school on Tuesday morning and the cleaner told her she’d nearly had a heart attack.
“I thought we’d been broken into,” Mrs Clarke said.
“Sitting up right on the couch was the koala. He didn’t want to leave.
Mrs Clarke said the visitor had come into the school on Monday night and the security was alerted to the disturbance.
“No one knew he was here,” he said.
“He did do a bit of grunting when he left.”
Mrs Clarke said there had been a koala near the school’s rose garden since the start of the year.
