Thirty monkeys broke into a school to cool off during a heatwave.

The troop of macaques wandered into the grounds from the hot streets and wreaked havoc.

They climbed onto the roof, through the windows and rummaged through students’ bags.

School heads immediately issued a broadcast over the sound system to tell students to close all doors and windows and not to panic.

Headmistress Liao Yuyun even patrolled the grounds with a catch pole.

She said: “The purpose of the pole was not to hit them, but to bang on the floor to scare them.”

One student said: “They weren’t scared of us, only the headmistress!”

Shocked pupils filmed the animals scaling walls and rampaging in classrooms at Gushan High School in Kaohsiung City, Taiwan, on 17 July.

Another student told local media: “There are sometimes around six or seven of them, but there were more today.

“It’s very common to see them here, probably a bit too normal.”

Yuyun said the monkeys wandered around for about 10 minutes before they realised there was nothing lying around to eat.

The headmistress believes they entered the school grounds to cool off, as reported by What’s the Jam.

She added: “It seems the monkeys wanted to escape the summer heat so they came here to study.

“As all the doors and windows were closed, they eventually left.”

However, the Taiwanese macaques gang were not finished, according to local reports, they moved to a nearby row of shops to continue their rampage.

One shopkeeper said: “If they take things, it’s best to just let them have it.

“Otherwise, what can you do? Would you dare to take them on?”
