Teamwork Building

An Integrated Student Body

Because of languages differences, most students in Sri Lanka grow up attending schools that are exclusive to their own ethnic group. For many, coming to Beacon Hill provides them with their first opportunity to study in an integrated setting. In a country recovering from decades of ethnic conflict, this serves to break down barriers, correct stereotypes, and build bridges based on genuine friendship and shared goals.

Sri Lanka Unites

Sri Lanka Unites is a grassroots youth movement promoting hope and reconciliation in Sri Lanka by uniting young people from all the various ethnic and religious groups across the country. Beacon Hill students have participated in several national Sri Lanka Unites events and have formed a local chapter in Nuwara Eliya.

Activity Days

At Beacon Hill, several extra-curricular activity days are held throughout the year so that students can practice building teamwork skills in a fun, hands-on way.

Talent Show

One of the main extra-curricular events used to promote teamwork building is our annual Talent Show. Students perform traditional dances, skits, and musical numbers and are responsible to work together to coordinate the entire event from start to finish. It is from such experiences that the student body becomes cemented together in a way that is impossible to acheive through classroom study alone.
