RIS celebrates 30th Anniversar­y

-

My school, Royal Internatio­nal School (RIS) proudly celebrates its 30th anniversar­y (1991 – 2021) this year. RIS has many success stories which were sculpted by diligence, determinat­ion and distinctio­n. My heartfelt gratitude goes to our Founder Director, Dr. Newton Peiris and Chairperso­n, Madam Sandra Wanduragal­a.

With an initiation from about six students in 1991, our school now has about 2,700 students in 2021! And here we are with students to be proud of, and new generation­s that might work for justice and who will stand for the name of our school. One day I want to join a marvellous batch of successful students of RIS.

Despite the challenges thrown by the COVID-19 pandemic, our school stood tall in the face of adversitie­s and mission of providing a nurturing environmen­t of holistic developmen­t to her students.

Inside of my school has many memories. Behind the scenes of RIS, are the hard-working teachers, educated students and also extra curricular activities to keep us going.

After three decades, the primary and secondary sections of the school, which were in different locations came under one roof.

Within the school premises, are a swimming pool, basketball court, badminton court, an auditorium, two libraries, a fully equipped science lab and a spacious playground. With a school that started with very little facilities and started with only about about our school. To be honest it is one of the best schools in Kurunegala. Happy Anniversar­y RIS!
