The devastating loss of one of the students and the serious injuries sustained by the other has deeply impacted our community and the broader Charles Sturt family. Our hearts are with all those who are grieving and coming to terms with what has happened.

We are working closely with their families, friends and relevant authorities and will do all we can to provide support to those directly affected at this very difficult time.

We encourage anyone affected by this incident to seek support. Counselling and wellbeing services are available to all students through our Student Support Services and counselling.

Twenty-four hour support is also available from Lifeline via text, online chat or by calling 13 11 14.

Additional support and resources are being made available to our staff and those most closely impacted.
