BEING appointed to lead a prominent all-girls school was something Vilimaina Tuivaga never once thought of while growing up.
But yesterday was a different experience altogether as she was inducted the head girl of Adi Cakobau School in Sawani, Naitasiri.
Vilimaina said she understood her new role would be challenging, but she believed in humble leadership.
The 17-year-old was also one of the four deputy head girls of the school last year.
“I did not believe it at first when the girls told me that I will be the head girl this year because there are a lot of capable leaders here,” she said.
“I was OK with whatever student role that was given to me, but I am thankful to be given this task and that is to lead the students this year.
“My parents are usually working so I am used to having to get things done on my own.”
The science student aspires to be a doctor and although working towards that goal alone will be hard, Vilimaina believes she will be able to make it through this year with the help of other student leaders and teachers.
Yesterday was an emotional day for dozens of parents and guardians of ACS as they inducted the school’s new student leaders.
