Education is the key however, it is not just about obtaining a degree but about having an informed mind, engaging in reading, researching, and learning from the experiences of others.

These were the remarks of Sulueti Rabuka, wife of Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka while officiating at the Veiuto Primary School Prize Giving and Graduation Ceremony held in Suva.

While delivering her message she encouraged students to cherish their education and to become masters of their fate, advising them to remain focused on their principles.

She also advised the students to not depend on anyone, to do what is right, to be determined, and to choose their own goals.

She says even if the world is staging them they must do what they believe is right, and live by the principles.

Rabuka also highlighted that the best education and material wealth are worthless without acts of kindness and compassion as one's impact on the world is the true measure of their wealth.

Meanwhile, Head Girl, Christina Rika took out the Dux award for this year.
