The students of two Grade 5 classes had the privilege of visiting the Kandy General Post Office, where they were given the chance to explore the office and learn the basic procedures, from the 17th to the 20th of October 2023, as part of their academic activities.
Embarking on this enlightening visit, students were presented with a unique opportunity to delve deep into the intricate workings of Sri Lanka’s Postal Service. They set out on a journey to not only gain knowledge but to truly immerse themselves in the world of postal operations. This experience allowed them to witness firsthand how dedicated postal workers skilfully navigate the complex web of postal deliveries.
Moreover, the visit served as a window to a captivating realm of philately, providing students with invaluable insights into the fascinating universe of stamps. As they explored the postal service’s inner workings, they unravelled the significance of stamps, discovering the stories, history, and culture embedded in these tiny pieces of art.
The provision of this enriching experience for grade 5 students was made possible because of the unwavering dedication of Mrs. Indira Bandara, the Teacher-in-Charge of the Junior School Stamp Club, and the support of Mr. Amila Perera (an Old Boy of TCK).
