NOOSA was a community in mourning following the horrific death of Noosa Pengari Steiner School teacher Andre Vogel, 36, and 16-year-old student Gabriel Runge in New Zealand.
The pair died when the bus they were travelling in collided with a milk truck on North Island State Highway 5, south of Settlers Road at about 4.30pm on Friday 28 November.
The deaths prompted an outpouring of support from the local community as well as international support from New Zealand.
One student remains in Waikato hospital in a stable condition, while the remaining six students and second teacher, Tricia Jeffree, returned home and attended a special school ceremony the same day.
School principal Allen Kloeden said the students will name a special bridge in honour of Gabriel.
