School celebrates new leaders, with Nath sisters making history

For the second year in a row, a Nath daughter has earned the head girl badge at Sangam Sadhu Kuppuswamy Memorial School in Nadi.

Seventeen-year-old Anamika Nath dedicated her badge to her mother, Anajnita Devi, during Monday’s prefect investiture ceremony, where the student council was announced.

Her elder sister, Bhumika Nath, was head girl last year.

“Being head girl is not about a fancy title — it’s about responsibility,” Anamika said.

“It’s about showing up every single day with purpose, knowing that people are looking up to me — not just to lead, but to set the tone for what this year will look like.”

“I dedicate this badge to my mum because she wanted both of us sisters to be head girls of such a prominent school in Nadi,” she said.

“My mother has always been at the forefront with my dad; it is an honour to represent such a big school.”

Anamika studies Biology, Chemistry and Computer Studies and aspires to become a biomedical engineer.

Her father, Bijesh Chand Nath, is head of the Social Science (History) department at the same school. Mr Nath said it was a proud moment for the family.

Head boy Shishaant Singh said he felt privileged to have spent five years at the school.

“It is an honour to serve as head boy,” he said.

“I would like to dedicate this badge to Disha Goundon, my former classmate who migrated to Australia. She always pushed me to do better in my academics. I dedicate this badge to her.”

Shishaant is a pure science student and aspires to become a medical doctor.
