The society helps to improve the English knowledge of the students through various programs such as: English Day, English Camp and School level English language competitions.

The English Literary Society had yet another productive and exciting year. We began the year with the annual Inter House English Oratorical competition, where our orators displayed their skills through a series of entertaining and thought provoking speeches. In the junior category Yeshiah Peries, Seshaya Wijesinghe and Luthara De Silva came first, second and third respectively, while Sheriah Peries, Raaya De Silva and Indeevani De Silva were placed first, second and third respectively in the senior category.

The highlight of the Society’s work during the second term was undoubtedly the Inter House English Drama Competition. Held under the theme “Asian Short Story Writers’, the 4 plays were written, produced and directed solely by the students of each house, based on the stories written by Asian authors. Whitney House emerged champions with their play, ‘Contusions’. Dale House followed a close second with ‘My Dear You’. The short story ‘Toba Tek Singhe’ portrayed by Loos House came in 3rd place while Nixon House came in at 4th place with their performance of ‘A Mad Man’s Diary’. Tehani Rasool and Mithsandi Seneviratne were both awarded the title of Best Actress, while Sheriah Peries and Mithahasinee Ratnayake were jointly adjudged Best Supporting Actress.
