A HERD of mischievous deer sent a Sydney school into lockdown when they were caught wagging in the playground.

Police, RSPCA officers and Sutherland Shire Council workers attended Sylvania Heights Public school on Lisbon St this morning where the three animals were on the loose in the playground.

Police said the school went into lock down.

“Kids were all kept in their classrooms out of harm’s way,” a police spokesman said.

RSPCA spokeswoman Michelle Minehan said inspectors shot the animals with tranquilisers and were then handed over to the council.

Ms Minehan said the deer were likely to have wandered into the playground from the nearby Royal National Park.

“They’re always out and about everywhere,” she said.
