Sister Philomene Tiernan MH17

Sister Philomene Tiernan, a teacher at the exclusive Catholic school Kincoppal-Rose Bay, was among those on board.

Hilary Johnston-Croke, who is principal of the eastern Sydney school, has written to parents confirming Sister Philomene as one of the 28 Australian victims of the crash.

Year 3 to Year 12 students from the school were informed of her death on Friday with a group of the children performing a liturgy for their teacher.

Sister Philomene had been attending a retreat in France, Mrs Johnston-Croke said.
