The parents of Olivia, Sarah, and Damian, three students from De Warande in Axel who died in a school camp tragedy on June 11 near Vogelwaarde, have shared personal statements to honor their children ahead of the trial against the 20-year-old driver. The victims’ mother described Sarah as a cheerful dancer who wanted to be a teacher, Olivia as a sporty girl with a golden heart, and Damian as a caring boy interested in geography and history. The accused driver faces charges for speeding and running over the students and their director Joyce on the N290 road. While the school board Elevantio maintains distance to protect the community’s peace, the parents emphasize that these three children will remain forever 12 years old.
