Welcome address by Chandana Basnayake, President of the Sri Lanka International Schools Association
The Sri Lanka International Schools Association (SLISA) marked a milestone with the hosting of its inaugural School Leaders’ Summit on July 6 at the Lyceum Campus Auditorium, Nugegoda.
Themed “Empowering School Leaders for a Transformative Future”, the summit brought together 75 school leaders from across the island, representing diverse regions and ethnicities, united by a shared vision for the future of education in Sri Lanka.
This landmark event was the first organised by SLISA since its establishment in January 2025, under the leadership of its chairman and founder, Nikitha Grero, and president Chandana Basnayake. The summit created a dynamic platform for collaboration, thought leadership, and professional growth.
Three keynote speeches delivered by educationists addressed the challenges and opportunities school leaders face in today’s evolving landscape. The sessions offered practical insights, inspirational perspectives, and forward-thinking strategies essential for transforming schools and empowering students for the future.
The diversity and unity of the participants reflected the inclusive ethos of SLISA, with leaders engaging in dialogue and networking across school systems. The event was not just a gathering, but also a movement — igniting a renewed sense of purpose in shaping the educational journey of Lankan youth.
As SLISA continues to grow, this summit stands as a testament to its commitment to excellence, innovation, and unity in the international education sector of Sri Lanka.
