Today, Nasinu Town Council Chairman Mr. Felix Magnus had the honour of serving as the Chief Guest at St. John Bosco Primary School, where he delivered an inspiring message to students on the importance of education, good values, and responsible citizenship.
Mr. Magnus highlighted that education is the foundation for success and the key to developing the future leaders of our beloved nation. He encouraged students to stay focused on their studies, dream big, work hard, and never allow obstacles to stand in the way of their ambitions. He reminded them that every great leader started as a child with a dream and a commitment to learning.
The Chairman also addressed some of the major challenges affecting society today, including drug abuse, crime, violence, bullying, and negative peer pressure, which continue to impact many young people. He urged students to make wise choices, stay away from harmful influences, and focus on activities that will positively contribute to their future and their communities.
Joining the programme was the Police Liaison Officer for the Inter-Agencies Committee, who echoed similar sentiments on the growing concerns surrounding drugs and crime within our communities. He stressed the importance of working together as families, schools, communities, faith-based organisations, government agencies, and law enforcement to address these issues. He reminded students that preventing crime and drug abuse is a shared responsibility and that everyone has a role to play in building safer and stronger communities.
Both speakers encouraged students to show respect for their parents, teachers, elders, and members of the community, uphold strong values, and be positive role models for their peers.
As our society continues to face various social challenges, it is vital that we invest in our young people, empower them through education, and guide them towards making responsible decisions. Together, we can nurture a generation that is not only academically successful but also respectful, resilient, and committed to creating a better future for Fiji.
Dream big. Stay focused. Respect others. Make good choices. The future of our nation starts with you.
