They had been called to the school by Gardaí, who were notified when the chemicals were discovered.
The chemical in question is commonly known as 'Brady's Re-Agent', and is routinely used in laboratories around the country but becomes hazardous over time.
The bomb disposal team arrived at 12:15, and the scene was declared safe within half an hour.
