More than 100 Queen Victoria School Old scholars and students attended the 70th anniversary celebration that was held at their school.
President Ratu Wiliame Katonivere says QVS has played a vital role in nurturing Fiji's future leaders for the past 70 years, emphasizing the school's original vision, which dates back to 1953 when Ratu Sir Lala Sukuna founded QVS to prepare the sons of iTaukei chiefs for traditional leadership roles within the indigenous community.
Ratu Katonivere acknowledged the institution for becoming a symbol of academic excellence, sporting achievements, and cultural diversity, with its alumni making significant contributions both locally and internationally.
He says the core values instilled in QVS students such as discipline, respect and integrity have shaped them into responsible citizens and leaders of tomorrow.
The President reminded the students to stay committed to their studies, dream big, and create their legacies while upholding the motto of the school – Floreat Viti.
The theme for the celebration is 'Recognising the Past, Celebrating the Present, and Affirming the Future.'
