A perfect Children Day gift to kids

The primary students of Holy Family Convent, Bambalapitiya had something special awaiting them on October 1, 2015. In celebration of World’s Children Day, the school gifted its younger children with a brand new play area, a delightful addition to students in their formative years.

The school’s older play area had needed refurbishment. With funds raised through the Little Familian Rhythmic Vibes ’14 and contributions from the school Welfare Society, the school transformed the facility into a brand new play area.

The project was a brainchild of Primary School Principal Rev. Sr. Merita Fernando and had the blessings of Rev. Sr. Chandani Jayasuriya, the Principal. “This has been a dream for me for several years as I believe it’s important for children to engage in play during their formative years,” said Sr. Merita Fernando. “So I am very happy today to see my dream come true.”“We are not only focusing on education but nurturing a complete child. So I believe engage in play is important to keep them mentally and physically healthy. This is why we decided to gift this,” she said. Holy Family Convent is a leading Catholic institution in the country known for providing children with a holistic education.
