"Within the school, we have a team of support staff available to assist students, staff and parents. We will continue to provide support over the coming days and weeks as needed.
"It is important to give your child the opportunity to talk during these times and to listen to them. It would be best for your child's routines to continue as normally as possible and they should attend school as usual.
"It is important to give young people the opportunity to talk and for adults and friends to listen to their stories.
"It is important to note the reaction of your child may be significant, even if they had no personal knowledge of the student involved.
