Citations from Mr Sutton - Senior Master Academic
Lachlan Stark
The Head Prefect’s Prize and The Ormsby Medal
“Our 2015 Head Prefect, Lachlan, has been the epitome of good leadership. His leadership of the prefect body, the school and the College senior A basketball team, has been outstanding. He has led from the front where appropriate, yet at the same time he has shown enormous wisdom in knowing when to step back and trust others to do their jobs. He has a natural aura of authority, integrity and trustworthiness that inspires and encourages others to do their best. Amidst his busy schedule of prefect and whole school responsibilities, Lachlan has been able to participate fully in his House activities and maintain an enviable academic record of achievement with endorsements at NCEA at Levels 1 and 2. He has been chair of the senior ball committee, sat on the College master planning committee, undertook promotional work for the College, participated in fundraising activities for charities and coached junior sports teams. He has been an outstanding example of leadership through service, and we owe him our thanks for an outstanding year.”
