Venasio Savea has etched his mark in the history books of Rotuma High School – scooping the school dux and best all-rounder awards this year.
Savea who hails from Juju in Rotuma completed high school on a high note, making his school proud.
Rotuma High School vice principal, Joseph Kamea said they will miss Savea next year.
“Savea is a very discipline student and it’s very rare to come across students like him who do extremely well both in sports and academically,” he said.
During their prize-giving ceremony last month, Savea managed to scoop several top awards.
Mr Kamea said Savea walked away with the dux prize, the best all-rounder prize and the top Physics, Maths, Chemistry and Biology prizes too.
“He is a good science student, and we hope his dream of becoming a doctor comes true.
“In sports he made the school proud by winning gold in the Coca-Cola Games and also won gold in the under-20 Oceania discus competition this year.
“Now he has been selected for the South Pacific Games trials.”
Savea has started his training for the trials.
Mr Kamea wished Savea all the very best in his future endeavours both academically and in sports.
