March 1 2011 marked an important day for Imperial College. It was a day of celebration and recognition as Sri Lankan Prize winners, Imperial College's own high flyers, sportsmanship, commitment and dedication were rewarded at the Imperial College Awards Evening.

The awards ceremony was held at the Imperial College auditorium among a gathering of invitees, parents, prize winners and students. Medals and plaques were awarded to the Sri Lankan Prize Winners at the November 2010 CIMA examinations, Imperial College's own high flyers and students who secured 3 A grades and 2 A grades and 1 B grade at the 2010 Local A/L examinations.

He further stated it was important to reward students who secured very high marks and fell short of a Sri Lankan prize. He said "the celebrations are not only to reward academic achievements, but also to felicitate extra-curricular achievements. In our effort to create the leaders of tomorrow, we reward extra-curricular activities and recognize students who have displayed great efforts and commitment towards organising events"

The highlight of the evening was the vote of thanks delivered by Ashani Amarasinghe, who received the CIMA Sri Lankan Prize for Enterprise Strategy (E3) in addition to receiving the CIMA Sri Lankan Prize for achieving the highest aggregate at the Strategic Level scoring 217 out of a possible 300, at the November 2010 CIMA examinations.
