In response to queries from The Sunday Times, Dr Michael Johnston, the school's chief executive, said on Nov 9 that the Grade 9 student, Jenna Chan, was on a National Youth Achievement Award overseas expedition in the Indian Ocean island state.

"Our hearts go out to Jenna's family and friends and the entire school community during this tragic time," he said.

Dr Johnston said Jenna's family has travelled to Male, the capital of the Maldives, with a team led by the high school principal which will provide support to the family, students and staff.
