On Sunday around 3 p.m. a really sad thing happened at the Peechidam reservoir in Thrissur Kerala. Four students from St. Clare’s Convent Girls’ Higher Secondary School were near the water in the Thekkekkulam area and something went wrong. It looks like they might have been taking pictures when it happened.
Sadly three of the students died. At first Anne Grace and Aleena both 16 from Pattikkad passed away. Later Erin another 16 year old from their school died while she was at the hospital. The fourth student is okay and is getting better but we don’t know exactly how she’s doing. Everyone in the community and at the school is very upset about losing the three girls.
Right now people are looking into how the accident happened. This has made it clear that we need to be more careful near reservoirs. Hopefully this investigation will help stop this from happening again. The main thing now is making sure the families get the support they need and that we learn from what happened.
