A strong team spirit will im­prove discipline and aca­demic standards was the key message from the newly-elect­ed head boy and head girl of Nadi Muslim College.

Saadiq Abdul and Amisha Kumar were badged on Friday at the school among the student body prefects.

Head boy Saadiq said: “I have ful­filled my father’s dream. He passed away two years ago and I really miss him. Even though he is not here today but deep down in my heart I know that he must be proud of me.

“There is a big task ahead of me and I know it is possible. So, team work should be the cornerstone.

“To me teamwork is like a tool set. Not one tool can do all the jobs, but together they can,” he said.

He urged the school and the stu­dents to work with team spirit.

Abdul aims to become an aircraft engineer.

“I am really happy to be appointed as the head girl of the school. Re­gardless of many other students and I am honoured for this opportu­nity,” Amisha said.

“In Year 11, I was given a huge op­portunity to be an assistant head girl of the school.

“The assistant principal with the prefects promoted me and I was appointed as deputy head girl last year. This year I am honoured to be given this role.

“I know I have a big responsibility ahead of me but I will do my best for the betterment of the school. We have an exceptional team of teachers who motivate and inspire us daily.

“Also, we have a strong team of student council members this year who I believe will improve the dis­cipline and academic standard this year,” she said.

Amisha aims to study Radiology in FNU after Year 13. Her interest is in imagery science.
