It’s not hard to see why Mr Lachlan Harris was recently appointed student president of the Student Representative Council at Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Dubbo. He may only be 19 and in his first year of study, but this local Dubbo resident is passionate about his work, his study and his home town. While studying a Bachelor of Education (Early Childhood and Primary) degree, Mr Harris manages to hold two jobs and attend meetings in his role as student president. “The Student Representative Council at Charles Sturt University is keen to increase students’ interaction with the Dubbo community and we’re looking at how we can get more involved,” Mr Harris said. Having moved to Dubbo in primary school, Mr Harris is now a piano teacher at Macquarie Conservatorium, and through his teaching discovered his interest in educating young people. “I find it more enjoyable to teach children who haven’t learnt piano before and I’d like to pursue teaching as a career. I’m fortunate that Dubbo has a Charles Sturt University campus where I can study and still keep my friends and family close. I have a great job and a future here, so I’m stoked.”
