Kokka Night ’20 | Winners Recap

The annual Kokka Night hosted by KSU serves to close the year whilst looking back at all the accomplishments of the past year, honouring those that overcame obstacles and innovated either as individuals or organisations.

The event took place this Saturday and opened with outgoing KSU President, William Farrugia, giving his speech and reflecting on his past year in the Council. He encouraged the new KSU to persevere even when the odds are against them and to be ready to learn from their mistakes. Farrugia closed off with on an endearing note directed to KSU Secretary, Daniela Fitzpatrick, calling her their ‘moral compass’.
