The Year 6 student was earlier reported to have topped his Year 6 grade in the internal examinations and this time, he topped his school in the external examinations.

He scores are as follows:

• Maths – 100
• General Subjects – Basic Science, Health Science and Social Science – 100
• English – 92
• Krish was also the only student taking the vernacular subject studying Hindi where he scored 89 out of 100.

His father, Sanjay Lal said: “I’m feeling great for the achievement, his target was 290 but he scored two more marks so I am happy for that.

“He would spend at least two to three hours studying a day at home and he also helps in the running of our family shop as well.”

Drasa Avenue School head teacher, Sashi Kumar said according to school records from 2015, Krish was so far the highest scorer in the Fiji Intermediate Exam.

Mr Kumar said this also painted a good picture for the school.
