It was yet another memorable day for a cross section of students of Dharmasoka College, Ambalangoda, who were privileged to get a comprehensive understanding of the Parliamentary Procedures at the legislature itself on 16 August 2024 through a professionally curated “Student Parliament Session”. This rare event took place under the aegis of our renowned alumna and Ex-Co member of DCPPA Colombo Branch, Mrs. Kushani Rohanadeera, the Secretary General of the Sri Lanka Parliament. She took the initiative with the sole objective of giving the senior students of our alma-mater an opportunity to have a closer look at the all-important parliamentary procedures which invariably determine the state’s well-being and the forward march. The Honourable Speaker himself delivered the keynote speech, much to the delight of all the participants including the Principal, parents and Ex-Co members. During this momentous excursion, our school also received all the accessories essential to establish a Smart Classroom as a result of Mrs. Kushani Rohanadeera’s extensive efforts. This generous donation took place at the Presidential Secretariat when all the participants were hosted to another scholastic session in the afternoon. It was a great team effort wherein the utmost support extended in this endeavour by the President of DCPPA Colombo Branch, Air Vice Marshal Dilshan Wasage (Retd) and the Ex-Co Members was quite instrumental in making this event a great success. In fact, during their visit to the school last month, the Ex-Co of DCPPA Colombo Branch identified the long felt need of a smart classroom, which was projected by the Principal and his staff during the meeting. A total of 143 students, 15 teachers, and 31 EXCO members, along with their family members, participated in this significant event. The establishment of a Smart Classroom at our school marks a great achievement by the DCPPA Colombo Branch and it well addresses a longstanding need thereat.
