Amal International School, Colombo organised a Commonwealth Day Poster Competition for the third consecutive year at the school premises recently.
The competition was based on the theme “A Connected Commonwealth.”
Students from Grades five to 12 showcased their creativity and talents with an explosion of colour and mind-boggling ideas. An informative poster of 53 member countries blossomed in uniqueness.
Students had used the internet, encyclopaedias, atlases, books, magazines and periodicals to gather the information. This competition was held to enable students to learn how to gather the appropriate information from the right sources.
This year’s posters showed a remarkable improvement in expression, creativity and display. It was no easy task for the judges to select the best from the best for the first three places from each grade. Every participant received a certificate and the winners received a book voucher together with certificates. This project was organised by the librarian of the school, Chandra Hettiarachchi assisted by Fareeda Ali Mohamed under the leadership of the Principal M. M. Shazuly.
