 AUSTRALIA Governor-General Quentin Bryce told a group of school children yesterday that education was the key to everything.

The mother of five children and grandmother to 10 visited the Kokopo Primary School yesterday and said one of the things she loved the most was spending time in school with kids reading stories. 

Bryce presented reading books to the school and encouraged students to grasp every opportunity in life and realise the importance of education. 

“Education is the key to everything, to reach your potential and to live the hopes and dreams that you hold in your heart,” she said. 

She said students must be driven to go for everything, to always say yes when there was an opportunity to be involved in positive activities or simply to give a hand. 

“One of the important lessons learnt in my life is that you don’t know what you are good at, what you clever at until you have a go. Have a go at everything to discover your skills and talents.”
