Course of study on development of leadership skills.

         Under the auspices of the Ministry of National Policy and Economic Affairs, the study course on leadership skills development for school student leaders at Ambilipitiya National Center for Leadership Development was held from 16th of March , 2016 to 17th of March 2016.

         My school,  President Girls' College, Galle also got an opportunity to participate in that and I was fortunate to participate in that valuable program as a student leader of the school.

       

  This two-day residential program really provided a foundation for a child to develop their leadership skills and qualities and improve their abilities and talents. Various group activities taught us how to move forward as a team while maintaining the strong qualities a leader should possess. The youth parliament session was held and important issues were discussed there and we were given the opportunity to work amicably with friends from other schools and present our talents.

       All of us, who wake up early in the morning and report to the playground for exercise, after that raise the national flags, sing the national anthem, perform our religious rites and get used to spending the day systematically. Who made us understand how to behave in a certain place, how to control one's thoughts appropriately, how to handle one's external movements and body properly. 

    Yodhagama village located in Ambilipitiya area is a quiet environment with a very beautiful nature and it is a pleasure to spend time in such an environment. At night everyone had an outdoor fire show together and everyone was happy singing and dancing.

          We were made to understand how to take initiative in team leadership by conducting activities like adventure activities mountain climbing team boat races. It made us realize how much leadership qualities affect success in life. Everyone in that staff worked hard to bring various qualities such as responsibility, punctuality, support, patience and tolerance to our lives.

        At the end of this two-day leadership skill development course, which was successfully completed, a ceremony was held and a certificate was also presented to us.
