Araliya Jayasundara OSB said, “Introducing IALs 3 years ago was a very ambitious as well as a progressive move to facilitate the ever-changing educational needs of the millennial student, whose world view is beyond the local curriculum and mere passing an examination. With a view of enhancing creative educational opportunities of the students who join IALs, Trinity has upgraded the infrastructure at the IAL section, extended the regular co/ extra-curricular activities of the college to the IAL students and even provide refurbished hostel facilities to those who need such facilities.” During the last 3 years College has invested on IAL driven human and infrastructural resources extensively, and these investments are now reaping results in the form of Trinity IAL students securing excellent pass rates at the international exams. At the Oct. 2020 and Jan. 2021 examinations, Trinity IAL students secured pass rates beyond 94%, reinforcing the age-long Trinity tradition of achieving excellence in whatever they do.

The Journey to Wilpattu Having worked consistently since June on the vision of helping the reforestation process of the Wilpattu National park, and after many months of creative ideas being used to generate awareness about the disaster that has fallen upon this national treasure, the members of the Wilpattu project were able to collect a good amount of funds. These funds were used to provide the necessary resources to the Sri Lankan army who were leading this mission of protecting the park from any future attempts of deforestation and as well as the rehabilitation of the the affected areas. And, so on Friday the 6th of September, 13 members of the Wilpattu project started our journey to visit park to hand over the resources to the Sri Lankan army, as well as get a first-hand experience of the conditions. On arriving, we were greeted by two officers who took us to a plot of barren land where many plants were prepared to be planted by the students and teachers. After watering the plants we were given a tour of the deforested areas of the park, Maraichukkaddi/ Karadikkuli (Kallaru) and Periyamurippu. We also visited a pearl fishery and a ‘Doric Bungalow’. To conclude the day on a high note, all of us were taken to the army camp where we were given a filling lunch and a tasty wattalapan which everyone enjoyed. At the end of the day, we all personally thanked the officers who gave us the tour and those who prepared lunch for us. Finally, we got onto the bus and headed back home. The largest National Park in Sri Lanka While Wilpattu National Park is renowned as the largest national park in Sri Lanka, drawing both foreign and local tourists since its reopening in 2010, it is but one of 9 Protected Forest Reserves that make up the Wilpattu Forest Complex. These protected reserves feature a mosaic of forest ecosystems, including dry deciduous forests, thorny scrub jungle, grasslands, wetlands and coastal villus; All of which form a contiguous flourishing habitat for large mammals such as leopards, elephants, sloth bears, as well as many species of birds and reptiles. Illegal deforestation, occurring since as early as 2009, threatens three forest reserves, north of Wilpattu National Park, Vilaththimulam, Maraichukkaddi/ Karadikkuli (Kallaru), and Periyamurippu Reserved Forests which were declared as Forest Reserves in 2012. Various parties have been involved in protests, rather than actually trying to save the park. This is why Trinity College students and staff decided to start a project on the re-plantation and conservation of Wilpattu national park. The overall project plan Introduction video about the project and deforestation Raising awareness on the need to save the Wilpattu national park Making a budget plan for the purchasing resources Implementing methods for fund collection Contacting the relevant army commander in charge to make the donations Making arrangements to visit the park The following methods were used to collect the funds: Selling ticket books (Rs. 100/- each) Staff contributions Donations A total of Rs. 294,800 was collected, with the College staff contributing Rs. 67,500. Rs. 87,300 was from ticket money, and Rs. 140,000 received through donations. The project committee: U. Vithanage (President) J.L. Senanayake (Secretary) S. Kaveen (Treasurer) D.M.U.N.B.
