Under the Smart Board Installation Project for Grades 6–11, initiated by the Old Boys’ Union (OBU) of Thurstan College, the 90 Group has generously contributed Rs. 1,312,000 to fund four Smart Boards for Grade 11 classrooms. This donation was coordinated through a strong collaboration between the OBU and the 90 Group, led by the President of 90 Group and the OBU Vice President, Mr. Upul Gajaweera, along with OBU General Secretary, Mr. Aruna Shantha Amarasinghe.
The remaining three Smart Boards, valued at approximately Rs. 1,000,000 for Grade 11 classes, will be sponsored by the OBU Secretary, Mr. Aruna Shantha Amarasinghe to complete the project’s first phase. The initiative aims to elevate learning through interactive, technology-enabled instruction and to cultivate 21st-century skills such as curiosity, critical thinking, and collaboration.
Plans for subsequent phases are underway and will be implemented as soon as possible. The 92 Group has already pledged two additional Smart Boards, and the OBU expects further support from other groups to accelerate completion of the project.
This initiative embodies OBU shared commitment to excellence, equity, and innovation in education. Thank you to all who contributed and collaborated to bring this vision to life.
