In the picture is the President and Executive Committee of the Bishop’s College Past Pupils’ Association, together with Lilamani Benson, who will present the Oration for Founder’s Day, which falls on January 23 this year.

President of the PPA, Sonali Dias explained that Bishop’s College celebrates its Founder’s Day to pay tribute to the Sisters of St. Margaret who served as founder Principals. Anusha Alles, Chairperson of the Oration Committee, added that they invite a distinguished past pupil to deliver the oration.

When asked about the choice of title for a serious Founder’s Day Oration, Lilamani said: “Well I work in advertising. So I believe in packaging something to make it attractive. And I truly believe there will be serious intent and valuable content in this year’s oration. Also there will be a mixed audience of people, of different ages, persuasions, professions. So I have to engage them all! And I hope sincerely I will be able to do that.”

The organizers say they will be happy to see all past pupils, well-wishers of the school and friends at this event, at the Bishop’s College Auditorium on January 23 at 6 p.m. Those attending are requested to be in their seats at 5.45.
