The flag at St Ninian’s High School is flying at half mast today following the death of a student at the weekend.
14-year-old Lucia Porter was killed in a car crash on the Switchback Road near Peel on Saturday night.
In a statement released by the school she’s been described as a student with a ‘caring nature’ who had settled well into the upper school in year 10.
Cruse Bereavement counsellors are also offering support in both the upper and lower school – which Lucia’s younger sisters attend - for staff and students.
Headteacher Andy Fox says the school is in a state of shock:
'Significant' snowfall expected this weekend
Shop to close in 'almost impossible retail landscape'
Oil be back, say pollution-hit ducks
Firefighters free horse trapped in pipe
Rising number of cats in charity's care
Price hikes for dumping appliances at civic amenity site
A&E visits rise more than 35 per cent in a decade
Island gets northern lights show
