Jack Davey passed away following an incident where he was reportedly hit by a car that went out of control and collided with the premises of Auburn South Primary School in Hawthorn East on October 29, 2024.
Two 11-year-old girls, a 10-year-old girl and a 10-year-old boy were also taken to hospital with serious injuries.
The driver, a 40-year-old Hawthorn East woman, was arrested at the scene and released pending further enquiries.
On Tuesday she was charged with careless driving and failing to have proper control of a motor vehicle.
Police will allege her car veered off the road on Burgess Street and crashed through a school fence before hitting the group of children. 
It’s understood the woman had picked up her primary-school aged child shortly before the tragic crash.
That child was not injured in the crash.
The woman has been summoned to appear at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on July 15.
