During her recent visit to Sri Lanka, she shared her heartfelt thoughts.
“During my holiday to Sri Lanka in June 2025, I felt really happy to visit Prospects College of Higher Education again. This is where I started my journey in Early Childhood Education by studying for my diploma, and now I’m continuing that path at Deakin University in Melbourne, doing my Bachelor’s degree. Coming back to PCHE felt very special because it reminded me of where everything began. I’m truly thankful for the time I spent there and everything I learned. One of the significant moments of my visit was getting to see Miss Yasaara and Sir Somesh again. They have always been so kind and supportive, and I’m very grateful for the role they played in my education. Seeing them again reminded me how much their guidance helped me reach where I am today. I’m proud to say PCHE was the first step of my journey, and I’ll always remember it” — Tashya Weerackody
