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:
“No April can revive thy withered flowers,
Whose blooming grace adorns thy glory now;
Swift speeding Time, feathered with flying hours,
Dissolves the beauty of the fairest brow.
Oh let not then such riches waste in vain,
But love whilst that thou mayst be loved again.”
—Samuel Daniel (1562–1619)
