Lutumailagi, Qoro ready to lead Nadi Muslim College

For Ratu Mesulame Lutumailagi, the moment the badge was pinned to his uniform was not about status, it was about service.

Standing before teachers and fellow students at Nadi Muslim College’s 2026 student council investiture on Friday, the newly elected head boy reflected on what leadership truly means.

“I understand that this badge represents responsibility, not privilege,” he said.

Elected by ballot, Ratu Mesulame now carries the hopes of his peers for a stronger academic year ahead. He said he aims to inspire students to set higher standards for themselves academically, socially and morally.

“As head boy, I will work closely with the student council to ensure every student feels represented. I encourage my peers to take ownership of their learning, participate actively in school programmes, and always uphold the good name of Nadi Muslim College.”

He said punctuality, discipline and respect would be the foundation of his leadership.

He thanked Principal Mohammed Feroz, the teachers and Fiji Muslim League board members for the opportunity to serve.

Alongside him, Mary Qoro was badged head girl, describing her new role as both an honour and a responsibility.

“Together, we will work towards making our college proud,” she said.

“I thank all those who have built trust and confidence in me. Leading the students at Nadi Muslim College is a privilege and a responsibility I do not take lightly.”

Principal Mohammed Feroz confirmed the head boy and head girl were elected through a transparent ballot process.

“The elections were fair and square. We believe in transparency and accountability,” he said.
