With a little help from the school's headteacher and school officer, they set to work bringing Vanessa's impatient baby into the world.

Minutes later, little Geovani Ezekiel Deleon - who weighed 6 pounds and 3 ounces - was born.

The teaching faculty used a string to cut the umbilical cord and proudly presented the infant to his mother.

With no towels or blankets in school, they needed something to wrap the baby in.

The headteacher revealed: "Ashleigh is over there and she is saying I need t-shirts, we are just grabbing them and throwing to her!"
