STATEMENT: BANKSIA ROAD SCHOOL

My sincerest condolences go the families and friends of the two young boys who lost their lives today.

I hope those students who were injured have a peaceful, speedy and full recovery.

Thank you to the emergency services and by-standers who assisted in recovering the children.

This is a time of deep sadness. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Banksia Road School community.

This was the first school my mother taught at. The local school community has always been strong and the families and staff will have the support of the entire community at this most difficult of times.

May they Rest In Peace.
