A coronial inquest into the deaths of six children in the Hillcrest Primary School incident has started in Devonport in Tasmania's north-west.
At the outset of the inquest, the coroner's court heard details of each of the children who died.
The inquest is expected to run for four days this week, before resuming in November and February.
For the first time in court, the lives and personalities of the children who died in the Hillcrest Primary School incident in Tasmania's north-west have been described in detail.
The coronial inquest into the deaths of the six children who died when a wind tossed a jumping castle across the school's oval on December 16, 2021, started today in Devonport.
The children who died were Addison Stewart, Chace Harrison, Jye Sheehan, Jalailah Jayne-Maree Jones, Peter Dodt and Zane Mellor.
At the outset of the inquest, counsel helping the coroner, Maree Norton SC, detailed how the incident occurred and how the coronial inquest is expected to proceed.
Ms Norton began by describing Peter Dodt, who was 12 and in grade 6 when he died.
Andrew Dodt arrived at the inquest this morning wearing a photo bearing his son's photo and the words "Dad's Little Super Hero".
Chace Harrison was 11 and in grade 5 on the day of the incident, and at school he loved sport.
Zane Mellor, also 12 years old and in grade 6, was a "witty and cheeky" boy with a "zest for adventure", Ms Norton said.
Jye Sheehan was 12 years old and in grade 6, and enjoyed school and being with his friends, and "never stopped talking".
