The Berkley Normal Middle School student has had surgery and is in a stable condition at Waikato Hospital.
She's surrounded by a teddy bear in her school's colours, cards, balloons, and flowers, according to principal Nathan Leith.
He spoke to the student just hours after the accident, on a controlled crossing.
"That actually made my day - to be able to hear her talk and knowing she was going to be okay was a huge relief."
The girl is said to be getting back to her "cheeky self", talking, and asking questions about the crash.

There is an light inside the unit at the bottom base which has a colored spinning glass to light up the tree too. Spinning glass works but the small light bulb is gone. Can replace if needed. Cheap fix if you want to replace bottom light but it's not needed.
