After her election, Oritha expressed her gratitude to her fellow students for placing their trust in her. She pledged to initiate positive changes within the school and to work diligently for the betterment of the entire student body.
In addition to her role as president, Oretha is a trainee at Harleyngee Community Radio, where her leadership skills have been recognized and celebrated by the management.
This year has proved to be a milestone for female representation in leadership roles within Kolahun District.
