The Perth schools of three children and two teachers killed on flight MH17 are preparing to support staff and students returning to class this week.
Mo, 12, Evie, 10, and Otis Maslin, 8, and their grandfather Nick Norris were among the seven West Australians who lost their lives in the Malaysia Airlines plane tragedy.
The children were travelling back to Perth for the start of the school term.
At Evie and Otis' school, Deanmore Primary in Karrinyup, principal Jeanette Metcalf and lead school psychologists have been preparing for students to return on Monday.
A spokeswoman for the Department of Education WA said teachers would be keeping an eye out for students who may be particularly distressed.
She said counselling would be available to students, staff and the wider school community.
Prestigious private boys school Scotch College, where Mo had attended since last year, was reported to have organised an assembly on Tuesday to offer students support.
The schools of two WA teachers killed on the ill-fated flight are also preparing to support their communities.
A Catholic Education WA spokeswoman said Good Shepherd Catholic Primary School in Kelmscott, where bursar Edel Mahady worked for 14 years, would offer counselling to those who needed it.
John Calvin School principal Pete Witten said a special church service to remember teachers assistant Yvonne Ryder, who worked at the school for more than 10 years, was held on Sunday.
Mr Witten said staff and students returning to school on Monday and Thursday respectively would be looked after.
