The Lantern Award

Each term at St. Cuthbert’s, we celebrate the Lantern Award—a special honour given in the tradition of our foundress, Nano Nagle. Known as the "Lady of the Lantern," Nano walked the streets of Cork, Ireland by lantern light, bringing hope, education, and care to those most in need. Her life was guided not just by words, but by action—“deeds, not words.”

The Lantern Award recognises students who, like Nano, shine their light in quiet but powerful ways. These are students who:

• Show kindness and compassion to others
  
  
• Are always ready to help, without being asked
  
  
• Demonstrate leadership through their actions
  
  
• Encourage and include those around them
  
  
• Act as a light for others to follow

These students may not always seek the spotlight, but their actions speak clearly. They inspire their peers and make our school a better, brighter place.

We proudly congratulate our Term 1 and 2 Lantern Award recipients: James Alsford, Rocco Gazzignato, and Jagger Ross. These boys have shown outstanding character, consistently offering help without seeking recognition and always looking out for those around them.

Well done, boys — you truly are beacons of light in our school community!
