The Student Parliament session of Sirimavo Bandaranaike Vidyalaya, Colombo 7, was held recently in the historic Old Parliamentary Chamber located at the Presidential Secretariat.
The session commenced with the election of the Speaker of the Student Parliament, followed by the swearing in of the student members. Students who assumed ministerial portfolios presented to the House the programmes and development proposals they intended to implement within the school through their respective ministries.
Deputy Chairperson of Committees of the Parliament Hemali Weerasekara attended as the chief guest.
She said the Student Parliament serves as a platform not only for academic learning but also for developing and demonstrating leadership qualities, teamwork, and decision-making skills.
She reminded the students of their responsibility to help build a society with strong moral values and positive attitudes in the face of rapid technological advancement. Student parliaments can contribute innovative ideas to address national challenges such as poverty alleviation, energy conservation, and education reform, she said.
Certificates were presented to Student Parliament members by the Deputy Chairperson and other distinguished guests.
The programme was organised by Sirimavo Bandaranaike Vidyalaya, Colombo 7, the Presidential Secretariat, and the Department of Communications of the Parliament of Sri Lanka, with the objective of providing students with practical exposure to parliamentary procedures and a deeper understanding of the democratic system of governance.
