Six of the highest achievers at the 2018 Grade Five scholarship examination were recently awarded cash prizes totaling Rs 535,000 by the Commercial Bank of Ceylon under the rewards scheme supported by the Bank’s ‘Arunalu’ Children’s Savings Account. The recipients were those who were placed first, second and third island-wide at the examination.
Master Bumith Methnul Vithanage and Master Sanupa Dimath Perera, the students placed first at the examination, each received Rs 50,000 from Commercial Bank, while Miss Nathy Navascan and Master Mahendren Thigalolibavan placed second in the island received Rs 150,000 each because they were already holders of a Commercial Bank Arunalu Children’s Savings Account. Miss Senuji Akithma Hettiarachchi, the third student who was placed second island-wide was awarded Rs 35,000 while Miss Harithik Hansuja Balakumar, also an Arunalu Account holder, received a cash prize of Rs 100,000 for being placed third in the island.
These prizes were presented at two separate events, one held at ITN in Colombo and the other in Jaffna.
