We learned this
morning of the death of Joey Kelly, 1A, and his mother Tina. This is a terrible
tragedy for the Kelly family, our school and our community. We are deeply
saddened by these events. Our sympathy and thoughts are with Joey and Tina’s family
and friends.
Joey had just
completed first year and was looking forward to second year. Tina was a past
pupil and she completed a PLC course with us last year. They will both be
greatly missed by all who knew them.
We can all
understand the Kelly family’s need for privacy at this difficult time.
Offers of
support have been pouring in and are greatly appreciated. Our school has implemented
our Critical Incident Management Plan.
Psychologists
from the National Educational Psychological Service (NEPS) have been in contact
to support the school at this time.
Our school is
open from 1-3pm today. Our Guidance Counsellor and teachers will try to help
students to deal with the tragic event.
The school has
been open to parents to support them and to offer them advice and guidance.
We would ask you
to respect our privacy at this time.
Thank you.
