Established in 1923 by Caroline and Constance Barrett, Kilvington has a non-selective enrolment policy and currently caters for approximately 800 students from the Early Learning Centre to Year 12.

Despite being aware of Lachlan's medical condition, the school and World Challenge Expeditions, the company organizing the trip, failed to provide adequate care and support, leading to his tragic and preventable death.

Despite exhibiting serious symptoms, including persistent vomiting and high blood glucose levels, Lachlan was not taken to a hospital for over 24 hours.

The supervising staff, including two Kilvington teachers, were not trained to handle diabetes-related emergencies, nor were they provided with Lachlan's diabetes management plan.

He stated, "As the matter is still before the courts, I am unable to comment further at this stage, other than to say my thoughts and prayers remain with Lachie's family and friends, who continue to mourn his tragic loss."
