40 students from the LDS Primary School graduated from Class 06 on Tuesday 17 November and will be moving on to Form 1 at the LDS Church College next year.
Chief guest the ceremony, Michael Carthew the former Principal of LDS Church College spoke about how Nephi paid tribute to his “goodly parents” and about his education where he was taught all the learning of his father.
He counselled the graduates that they must learn like Nephi and understand the language of their fathers, (Fijian) but more importantly to learn and understand English the dominant language of our time. Only by learning and understanding both languages can they fully maximize their potential in this world.

He encouraged the students to use the books in the Library and develop a love for reading books. He also encouraged the parents to assist their children in this process by having their child read a book to them or vice versa.
He shared that on his travels throughout the Pacific schools, he’s noticed that most students are bright and capable in many areas of education such as sports and other extracurricular activities but because they struggle to understand English, it often contributes to them not doing too well academically.
According to him students can truly reach their potential and excel in their school and career goals are if they strive to do well in learning the English language.
