Daniel Morcombe
On 7 December 2003 a 13-year-old student at the school, Daniel Morcombe, was abducted as he waited for a bus. That year and for years afterward, the school repeatedly organised various memorial events to allow students to pray together for Morcombe and to express their concern. Australian news organisations covered the case extensively "in a massive media appeal that lasted three years" until at least November 2006. Daniel's remains were found in bushland in August 2011. "Daniel's chair", a special timber bench at the school, was dedicated to him.

Famous quotes containing the word daniel:
“When winter snows upon thy sable hairs,
And frost of age hath nipped thy beauties near;
When dark shall seem thy day that never clears,
And all lies withered that was held so dear,
Then take this picture which I here present thee,
Limned with a pencil not all unworthy;”
—Samuel Daniel (1562–1619)
