Students and staff at the school have spotted the ball of fluff in different trees each day, often when it is just climbing up the tree.

The second morning it was seen, the school left a tray of water out for it, and the koala filled up for about 10 minutes.

On another day, the koala climbed down from a tree and scampered to the school's vegetable garden to cool off under the sprinkler that was on.

It then continued on to visit the school's oval before climbing up another tree.

Both the staff and students have loved having the koala at their school.

A koala was also recently re-released at Oorange Curlewis Preschool, after being in the care of WIRES.
