“Being a single parent is not easy. Even at times as a family we face difficulties, but those challenges have never been a barrier for her. She has excelled right from Year 1.

“I thank the school for having faith in her and giving her this big responsibility.

“I thank all her teachers for shaping her well from Year 1 to Year 13.”

Monise said the badge gives her an extra bit of responsibility and that she was looking forward to her new role.

“I feel happy but the reason for my happiness is that I have seen the smile on the faces of my family members.” She acknowledged her mother for being her inspiration and her strength.

“My mother has really struggled to give her best to all her five children,” Monise said.
