One of the biggest messages from CATHERINE McAULEY to her sisters of Mercy was “WE SHOULD BE SHINING LAMPS, GIVING LIGHT TO ALL AROUND US” and this is something that I often witness from our McAuley QUIET ACHIEVER Lachlan O'C. Lachlan is certainly not one to draw attention to himself but would rather quietly step up and offer support, assistance and care for those around him in his PC, house and the school community in his own quiet unobtrusive way.

Lachlan is always respectful to staff and greets all with a happy infectious smile and a positive chat or enquiry as to their wellbeing. This cheerful exchange can do nothing but put all in a happy mood and this is a very special skill Lachlan shares with so many in our house. It certainly is his way of “GIVING LIGHT TO ALL AROUND HIM”
