The North Eastern Education and Library Board confirmed it will be offering counselling at the school of the three siblings — Leah, Daniel and Cal, aged between 5 and 10 — left orphaned by the double tragedy.
Templepatrick Primary School principal Ray Cromie said: “The school community will be offering support to those involved to enable the children to return to school as soon as possible.”
A spokesman for the North Eastern Education and Library Board said: “The Board’s critical incident support team is arranging to offer counselling support for any staff or pupils who request it.
“The principal and staff at the children’s school in Templepatrick have been very shocked by the weekend’s events.”
