From his first solo cello performance at an assembly in Year 7 through to his final HSC gala showcase, Lucas’s commitment to music was extraordinary.

Lucas was awarded the Dame Joan Sutherland Memorial Award for Outstanding Achievements in Music; the Paul and Betty Gough Award for Excellence in String Performance; the Prize for Music 2 and Prize for Music Extension in Year 12 – his breathtaking performances and dedication to music at Joeys drove him excel, through both hard work and self-belief.

Lucas’s passion for music also guided his aspirations following graduation, as he pursues a Bachelor of Music (Performance) and Advanced Studies at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, while gaining hands-on experience as a cello teacher.
