Royal International School (RIS) in Kurunegala recently donated a computer laboratory to Wa/Sri Rahula Vidyalaya in Weragala under its ‘RIS Manussakama (Humanity)’ social care programme.
Built at the request of Ashoka Wanninayake, Principal of Sri Rahula Vidyalaya, with the financial support of Royal International School. The alumni and parents of students of Sri Rahula Vidyalaya contributed with physical labour. The laboratory was opened by Chairperson of Royal International School, Attorney-in-law Sandra B. Wanduragala on March 05.
Rahula Vidyalaya was initially established at a temple in the area and relocated to a four-acre land at its current location in 1935. It is currently running as a junior school with 164 students studying under the guidance of 19 teachers.
All students who sat for the Grade Five Scholarship Examination last year have scored more than 100 marks and have displayed their academic prowess. Further, two students from the sports section have been selected for the provincial competitions.
Another student has been selected for an All-Island language and literature competition. Students have also been able to secure provincial level achievements in aesthetic subjects. An IT lab was a dire need for the school and its students to further excel in their studies. The Royal International School’s ‘RIS Manussakama’ programme, which selects schools where such underprivileged children study, offers various forms of assistance, with a mission to uplift education in the North Western Province.
