My mother has always been supportive and making her proud was always my main priority.

This is what Vasemaca Cevanalagi said after she was badged as William Cross College head girl.

“I am not the first head girl in my family. My older sister was also the head girl of this school in 2019,” she said.

“I know that I am bound to face challenges, I believe hardships motivate people to become the better version of themselves.

“The head boy and I with the help of the prefects will make sure that discipline is maintained in the school throughout this year.” Vasemaca is aiming to become a nurse in the future.

Meanwhile the school’s head boy Sosiveta Camaiverat­a thanked the teachers for believing in him.

“I am the first in the family to be the head boy and that means a lot to me because I am setting an example to my family.

“As the head boy I have to make sure that I lead by example because the teachers have entrusted this role to me because they believed in me. “Discipline is something we strive to maintain in the school and I believe that with the help of the prefects we can do that.

“My role comes with a lot of challenges and I am ready to overcome them all.”
