The newly inducted head prefects of Suva Sangam College say they are ready to lead by example.

Year 13 students, Lepani Rokoquca and Maria Semisi were badged as student heads on Thursday.

“I am very excited and surprised after getting badged as the headboy,” Lepani said.

As the first member of the family to be badged as a headboy, Lepani said he was ready to lead the students by displaying a good example.

The 17-year-old said he was previously a form prefect and a college prefect.

Maria is also the first member in the family to get badged as headgirl.

“Discipline is the main concern. With the headboy I want to lead with discipline and to reduce the noise level of the students,” said the 19-year-old.

Maria said that her parents held a celebration to mark her appointment as head prefect.

“I want to be an accountant after completing my education academically,” she said.

Both Lepani and Maria are set to lead a student body of 456 students and assist the school’s 36 teachers.

A total of 42 prefects were inducted.
