A total of 875 students from Suva Grammar School proudly participated in their cadet passing-out parade at Suva’s Albert Park yesterday. They withstood the heat to showcase the disciplined training they received over the past few weeks.
Family, friends, and loved ones gathered in large numbers to witness the event. The parade was reviewed by Chief Guest, RFMF Human Resources Director Colonel Jofiliti Gadevulatolu Talemaibau, who praised the cadet corps for their excellent and exceptional performance, noting their professional drill movements and discipline.
Addressing the cadets, Col Talemaibau said, “You are the tools upon which the future of our beloved Fiji will depend. We must strive not only for academic excellence but also to develop a sense of maturity to perform exceptionally.”
He emphasized that cadet training is designed to instill discipline and teamwork. “A disciplined upbringing will carry you a long way in life and help you face the challenges present in our environment,” he said. “We need a drug-free Fiji to build a robust future for our children and their descendants. The champion edge is not given by birth, a high IQ, or talent; it is all in the attitude.”
Col Talemaibau added that the Ministry of Education is devoted to providing a better education system, which requires a collaborative effort.
