"It has been a challenging journey, our class and I have experienced various and several trials along the way but all praise and honour goes back to the heavenly father for we have made it this far and to this chapter of our lives," she said during her speech.

"We have faced numerous challenges such as the distance of our homes from the schools are quite far, sleeping challenges, difficulties in trying to catch the bus to school, it hasn't been easy.

"But as our vice principal always says at the end of every year, we will see who sows with honesty and who doesn't hence why we acknowledge everyone who has made a huge impact in our academic journeys this year.

"We thank the staff, and everyone who contributed to our journeys this year 2023, our parents for paying our school fees and everyone else who had helped along the way."

At Leulumoega School of Fine Arts, there were less than 50 pupils who graduated from the three classes in the school.

For the final or third year class who graduated with honours on Friday, there were 20 students who enrolled at the start of their journeys in 2021, three females and 17 males.

In 2022, only three were left including Moelooto and his fellow classmates who she graduated with. Another one enrolled last year and in 2023, two dropped out leaving only two.

Moeloto gave special mention and acknowledgement to her mother for paying for her school fees and helping her achieve her vocational dreams in life.
