Welcoming the Grade 1 Students of St. Sebastian’s College, Moratuwa

10 January 2019 was a grand day at the School when the “New Sebastianites” were welcomed by The Priestly Community, Teachers and the present students of the school.

217 Students were enrolled to Grade 1 for the academic year 2019. They were greeted with a school flag as a token of their first day. A grand celebration was held at the School Auditorium with prayers and entertainment.

The day’s proceedings commenced with the hoisting of flags, invoking the presence of the Holy Spirit by lighting the oil lamp and most importantly with prayers by the Primary Principal, Rev. Fr. Priyan Tissera and blessing his new flock with the Statue of Infant Jesus.

The Teachers, present students welcomed them separately in their own styles. A musical welcome was made by the teachers with a drama acted by two teachers and a song composed by the teachers and sung by a Grade 1 Class Teacher.

Rev. Fr. Ranjith Andradi, the shepherd of God Almighty whom he has sent us to drive these kids to excellence, in his message mentioned, how important it is to take care of the new comers, the future of the country, and the effective formation that we should provide them by the school together with their households working together as a team. One student was ceremoniously registered by the Rector, Rev. Fr. Ranjith Andradi during the ceremony.

The Old Boys Association of St. Sebastian’s College, made an honourable presence and welcomed the students with a College cap.
