‘I want to know you are alright,’ the daughter wrote after again getting no reply.

‘Charlotte, please, I am here for you,’ was her final message.

‘I am very proud of my daughter,’ Jason said before dissolving into tears while trying to express the ‘heartbreak’ of Charlotte’s family.

Fordham said he has also been in email conversation with Santa Sabina College principal Paulina Skerman, had sent a message to the school community.

Ms Skerman thanked everybody for the ‘outpouring of love and support’ for Charlotte.

‘I also need to address my concerns about allegations made about bullying at Santa Sabina, she wrote.

‘Such claims are extremely serious and are being treated as such.’

Ms Skerman said the school’s anti-bullying police, which is on its website, dictates that the ‘response when required is always quick, measured and fair, with a commitment to ensuring the safety of all involved’.

The message urged anyone with knowledge or evidence of bullying to report it ‘through formal channels’.

‘It adds nothing to make such claims the speculation of gossip. Speculation at this time is hurtful and unnecessary.’

While the segment was on air Fordham said he had received a message from Charlotte’s mum, Kelly, which he read out.

‘Thank you for standing up for Charlotte, something I feel I failed to do,’ Kelly wrote.

Santa Sabina College principal Paulina Skerman has sent a message to the school community saying ‘speculation’ and ‘gossip’ about the tragedy are not helpful

‘Please, I must stress and I beg I do not wish any little girls to feel responsible for this.

‘I don’t want any other mum not being able to wake up their child in the morning.

‘They are also just little girls so they don’t understand.

‘Charlotte made a mistake on a moment of grief, she did not meant to do this, she did not understand.’

Santa Sabina College sent a statement on Monday in reply to questions from Daily Mail Australia.

‘A number of claims are being made about the circumstances that led to her (Charlotte’s) death – these are new claims to the College and are not consistent with our records,’ the statement said.

‘In the outpouring of grief as everyone rightly questions how this could have happened, the College asks the media to take immense care in reporting so that further issues are not created for other vulnerable young people in our community and beyond.

‘The main priority of the College at the moment is to support and care for our students, their families and our staff as well as support for this grieving family.’

The College said it was continuing to work with counsellors, Headspace and other experts to provide the fullest support.

However, it said ‘mental health experts’ advised further media coverage ‘offers nothing positive for their grieving family or community’ and creates ‘further vulnerabilities for young people … who are at risk because of what they hear and read’.

‘While the College supports the idea of raising awareness of mental health challenges, we have to take into account that children are involved and this situation needs to be carefully navigated,’ the statement said.
