‘Hunter Community Still Healing on Anniversary of Bus Crash’ – NBN News
On the somber occasion of the first anniversary of the horrific bus crash that claimed the lives of five high school students, the Hunter community remains deeply affected by the tragedy. One year ago today, a bus carrying 40 students and six staff members from Tocal College overturned on a country road near Willow Tree, killing Ella Wood, Summer Williams, Gabby McLaughlin, Emily Van Veen, and Sharnee Norris. In the aftermath of the devastating crash, the Hunter community rallied together in support of the victims’ families and the Tocal College community. But the healing process has been long and arduous. “It’s still very raw for everyone,” said local resident Sue Henderson. “The community is still in mourning, and we’re all thinking about the families who lost loved ones.” To mark the anniversary, Tocal College held a special memorial service for the five students. Students, staff, and community members gathered to lay flowers, light candles, and share memories of the young victims. “Today is a day of remembrance and reflection,” said College Principal Ian Graham. “We will never forget the lives that were lost, and we will always honor their memory.” The Hunter community has also come together to support the families of the victims. Fundraising campaigns have raised millions of dollars to assist with funeral expenses, counseling services, and other support. “The community has been amazing,” said Ella Wood’s mother, Renee Bishop. “Their love and support have helped us to get through this difficult time.” Despite the progress that has been made, the healing process is ongoing. The community is still grappling with the loss of five young lives and the lasting impact the crash has had on Tocal College and the wider Hunter region. “We will never fully recover from this tragedy,” said Hunter Valley Mayor Sharon Page. “But we will continue to support each other and work together to create a safer and more resilient community.”This HTML code represents a webpage layout for an article about a fatal bus crash that occurred in the Hunter Valley of New South Wales, Australia, one year ago.
