A source at the school has described the deceased as being quiet and respectful.
"The Department of Education has sent a psychologist to come through this morning. At the moment, the second child is in hospital and is recovering very well at the moment. With regards to the other child, we are waiting for the family to advise us because we cannot have a memorial without their permission and of course they will have to be here," he says.
Police are investigating a case of culpable homicide.
