Our Prefect Day 2019
Our Prefect Day was held on March 15, 2019 in our school premises.
It started at 8.30 a. m. Our Chief guests were the Chief Executive Officer Mr. Sandeepa Jayasekara and the Branch Director Mr. Nalaka Bandara.
All the parents of the prefects came to this occasion.
First we started by lighting the traditional oil lamp. Before the awarding of badges, we worshipped our parents and teachers. Then our school CEO
Mr. Sandeepa Jayasekara gave badges to all the prefects. I was also a prefect who was awarded a prefect badge.
Then after that Mr. Jayasekara made a presentation. He explained to us the meaning and responsibilities of a prefect, who is a leader, how can we recognise a leader and showed us examples for good leaders such as Mahatma Gandhi and Malala Yousafzai, We all liked that presentation and
we learnt many things.
I thank our Madame Principal, Deputy Principal, Teacher in charge of Prefects, all our teachers and our parents for organising this programme in a successful manner.

My best day
My family planned to visit another country for a week. We had packed our bags and my father booked a PickMe to take us to the airport. We said goodbye to our grandparents and left home.
It took us about an hour to reach the airport because there was a lot of traffic. I was really impatient until we went to the airport.
It was a Friday and there were so many people at the airport. After my father handed over our bags we checked in and we went to the lounge to wait for our flight. We were going to Singapore and it was a Singapore Airlines flight. My sister and I watched the planes landing and taking off. I was extremely excited because this was my first trip overseas.
After almost one hour, our flight was announced. Then the four of us boarded the plane. My sister and I got two window seats. We were asked to fasten our seatbelts. I was so scared when our flight was taking off, but I soon settled down and fell asleep.
We had a tasty meal and I watched a nice movie. It was a five hour flight and was very exciting to fly through the clouds. It was such a comfortable journey and I felt sorry to get off the plane.
That was my first trip to another country and the best day in my whole life.
