Ms Al-Shannag appeared emotional as she was escorted down the station steps by a police officer.
In an extraordinary act of compassion, Raed Darwiche, the father of one of her alleged victims, Jihad, said he wants to meet her and let her know ‘we forgive you’.
She declined to speak to reporters after fulfilling her bail conditions and looked tearful as she hopped into a waiting car.
Ms Al-Shannag is due to face court for the first time later this month.
Meantime, three days after the accident, parents are still holding their children back from school.
Daily Mail Australia estimated less than half of the school population were in attendance on Friday.

Those who did attend were in for a treat, with Lebanese football team The Cedars, arriving at the school to pay their respects and cheer up the kids.
They spent time reading tributes at the gate before entering the grounds to kick the football around with students.
A parent at the schoolgates said: ‘I’m still in shock, to think you send your children to school and this could happen, it will take a while for us to get our heads around it.
‘As long as that classroom is there we will remember every time we see it.
‘It’s just really hard and the community is still shaken.’
