REACHING the semi-finals in all three grades is more than just a sporting achievement for Ratu Kadavulevu School as it reflects the school’s commitment to shaping well-rounded young men.
Vice principal Sailosi Koroibola says rugby league at RKS is not just about winning, but about developing character through the platform of sport in the Fiji Secondary Schools Rugby League competition.
“Beyond winning, we want our boys to become respectful, responsible young men with strong values,” he said.
He explained that the program contributes to students’ holistic development — spiritually, academically, physically and socially.
“The game teaches them how to handle pressure, manage time and work together. It also strengthens the brotherhood within the school.”
Despite having all three teams in the semi-finals, the school remains grounded.
“We are confident, not in ourselves alone, but in the preparation the boys have put in and the values they stand for,” Koroibola said.
He acknowledged the role of the wider RKS community, including parents, teachers, coaches and old scholars, in building the program’s success.
“This achievement stands on the foundation laid by those who came before us.”
Koroibola has also called on supporters to rally behind the teams in Lautoka this weekend.
“We invite all members of the RKS family to come out and support the boys. Your presence and prayers will mean a lot.”
As the teams prepare for their biggest test this weekend, one thing is clear for RKS — its legacy goes far beyond the scoreboard.
