Wycherley has always been a school steeped in culture and traditions very specially connected with every religion in the country. Keeping in line with Wesak, Poson and the Sambudhathwa Jayanthi celebrations, Wycherley organized a Bakthi Gee Programme on June 10 2011 at the 'Mihilaka Medura' located in the BMICH premises.

The choice of 'Mihilaka Medura' as the venue lent the total ambience needed for such an event. A traditional mud and brick venue with modern effects of comfort gave the occasion the lift that it needed. The entire area outside was a glow with myriad hued wesak lanterns which gave it a festive air.

Worked to clockwork precision, the programme commenced at 6.00 p.m. with the observance of Pansil. Two little children enlightened the audience on the significance of Poson. The Play Group, Nursery and UKG classes joined in unison to sing 'Buddha Rajanthe' and 'Budu Sadu'. Being the smallest segment of students in the school it was a delight to see them sing alongside the cutest little Play Group ones singing while also engaging in their own private conversations.

The Elementary Section students presented a dance item called 'Mal Suyadai'. It depicted the talents in the children drawn out by their dance teacher and costumed to perfection. They also sang 'Me Poson Di ne' Saranni ' and 'Mage Ratata Dalada Himi'. The perennial favourite 'Danu Buddun Ge' and 'Senkadagalapura Dalada Buduras' had singing as well as toe tapping accompaniment much to the delight of the Grade 2 students.

Students of Grade 3 to 5 presented the item 'Poson Poho Dina' and 'Suranara Poojitha' and 'Mal Sugande' which were all choreographed and executed well. Students of Grade 6 to 8 presented a beautiful item called 'Sri Sambuddha Raja Wandimi' and a song titled 'Monawada Amme Akuru Jathiya'. The costuming of these items were in pastel shades to look elegant for the occasion.

The staff of Wycherley, in keeping with the children rendered the song 'Uttama Muni Dalada'. The children were awed to see their teachers too as performers. The final item was a tableaux presentation of the song 'Buddu Hamuduruwo Apit Dakinnati ……….' sung lustily by all the participants. That indeed was an item that made an impact in the hearts of the audience.

Traditions have to be kept to perfection. So in the canopy area outside Wycherley hosted a 'Dansala' where every visitor was given 'Kadala and a drink of Beli Mal with Hakuru'. That capped it all for the whole event which satisfied every parent who was present. Wycherley tho' an international school will always endeavour to flaunt our national culture.
