"We started this championship at Shalika ground in 2001 as a small
event under the guidance of the founding father RIT Alles, and today this has
become a flagship event among the leading International schools in the
country," said Dr. Harsha Alles, Chairman of The International School of
Sri Lanka (TISSL) and the Chairman of Gateway College.
Athletes from 25 international schools will compete in 130 events where
300 officials will be busy conducting competition under rules and regulation of
the Athletics Association of Sri Lanka.
"Over the years our athletes
from International Schools have gone beyond school level and won international
medals for the country. All of them came through this ISAC championship,"
Dr. Alles added.
Shehan Ambepitiya, Nadeeshani Henderson, Ireshani Rajasinghe, Keith de
Mel are a few of them from Gateway College who won international medals for Sri
Lanka.
The championship will be fully
computerized from web based entries, to instant access of results and scores
through isaclk.com, which has been designed and developed by Gateway
Consultancy Services.
"We are developing day by day. We have produced international medal
winners for the nation over the last few years. Only one school out of 25
schools of us has a proper ground. Yet our schools have taken care of their
athletes in order to produce best results. We should appreciate their
tremendous service," said Dr. Alles.
"There are over 40,000 students in our 25 schools and well over 95%
of them are Sri Lankans and these are students who aren't a burden for the
system and of course we invite everyone to watch their talent at Sugathadasa
Stadium over three days," Dr. Alles said.
Best male and female athletes of the last year Udantha Bandara and
Shanika Fernando will light the Olympic torch. The CEO of SLT Mobitel Kapila
Chandrasena will participate as chief guest at the opening ceremony.
Managing Director of main sponsor of the event, Pearson's Qualification
International, Manos Kapererian will fly here from UK to grace the closing
ceremony.
