Jorden, 16, had previously attended Wesburn Primary School.
News of the tragic death has hit the school communities hard with Upper Yarra Secondary College releasing the following statement last week.

The college, in consultation with the D.E.E.C.D., is providing additional support to staff and students at this difficult time.
