The schoolmates died after the inflatable castle was lifted into the air in December 2021.
They were enjoying end-of-year celebrations with classmates in Devonport, in Tasmania's northwest.
Rosemary Anne Gamble, the operator of a company called Taz-Zorb which supplied and set up the castle, was charged in November with failing to comply with workplace health and safety requirements.
It is alleged the castle was tethered at four of its eight anchorage points.
