"Following the crash several of the teaching staff including my Co-Principal Andrew Middleton were quickly on the scene as they were just a few cars away from the bus," Principal Taylor said.
"The staff were incredibly impressed with the way the ambulance paramedics, police and fire officers as well as the helicopter crews helped the victims of the accident.
"To help allay the fears of parents we were able to inform parents by mobile telephone from the scene that their children had been involved in an accident.
"This proved an enormous help for the school and parents alike," Mrs Taylor said.
"The 37 children on the bus and three other school children who were following the bus and were uninjured were taken to various hospitals including St George, Sutherland, Liverpool, Bankstown and Westmead Children's Hospital.
"We thank God that none of the children were critically injured and we continue to pray for the children and their families as well as the people in the other vehicle and those who witnessed the horrifying scene.
"Many of the children have now been discharged and at lunch today less than half a dozen children remain in hospital for observation.
"The students and staff of the school have been kept updated during the day and those who need counselling will have that made available.
"If anyone has questions regarding the school and the accident they should call the school on 8525 5111 or check the school's website www.sscs.nsw.edu.au.
"This has been a major event for the school and the staffs have been wonderful in dealing with the children, families and emergency workers," Mrs Taylor concluded.
