Eight years may have passed, but for many, it still feels like it happened just yesterday.
In the quiet town of Karatu, life was forever changed by a tragic school bus crash. Thirty-two bright young students, two dedicated teachers, and a compassionate driver lost their lives that day—futures full of potential, laughter, and dreams cut short in an instant.
The entire nation mourned. Families grieved, communities came together, and amidst the sorrow, three children—miraculously pulled from the wreckage—offered a glimmer of hope when it was needed most.
Even now, people still gather to honor them. Flowers are laid, names are spoken with care, and though the years have moved on, the weight of that loss is still deeply felt.
This isn’t just a memory—it’s a promise.
We remember. Always.
