The crash site remained fenced off and police officers could be seen roaming along the street as parents dropped students off.Some families simply lingered to read the messages. One letter described the “darling boy who has passed into this next life”.
He described the response from the local community as “overwhelming and thanked staff and students who had helped comfort students on Tuesday.“This school community is so wonderful and strong, and together we will get through this.” Allan had earlier urged Victorian families to seek support if needed and “hold our little ones really tight”.
