A remarkable achievement has been made by Aanvi Prasad, a dedicated Year 8 student from Lautoka Central Primary School, who has emerged as one of the top scorers in the 2024 Fiji Eighth Year Examination. Aanvi achieved an outstanding score of 491 out of 500, a testament to her hard work, commitment, and sacrifices throughout the academic year.
Reflecting on her success, Aanvi noted, “It was my dream to be the highest scorer, and I sacrificed for it.” She maintained a disciplined approach to her studies by setting timetables and prioritizing her schoolwork. Her goal of excelling in her exams not only drove her efforts but also inspired those around her. “I always told my parents that I wanted to be a high scorer and to top my exams. I am happy that I achieved it,” she expressed.
At only 13 years old, Aanvi has already taken on the role of head girl, an indication of her leadership traits. Despite facing challenges from competitive peers who sometimes doubted her dreams, she persevered. “They always said it was impossible to achieve the highest mark in the final examination. Sometimes it made me lose hope, but I am thankful to my parents and teachers for encouraging me that anything is possible,” she shared.
Her father, Ronil Prasad, expressed immense pride in her accomplishments. “I am a proud dad. It was a great investment that we as parents made in our daughter’s education. We have seen the fruit of it. It is a different feeling as a parent to experience such an achievement from our children,” he remarked.
Aanvi is set to continue her educational journey at Natabua High School next year, and her success story is an inspiring example for other students. Another standout from the examination, Viola Ravutubananitu from Tagitagi Sangam School in Ba, also matched Aanvi’s impressive score of 491 marks.
This achievement is not only a personal victory for Aanvi and her family but also a shining example of what determination and support can yield in educational pursuits. It highlights the importance of fostering a growth mindset and maintaining a strong support system, showcasing that with hard work and encouragement, dreams can indeed be realized.
