“Talent is nothing without dedication and discipline, and dedication and discipline is a talent in itself”. —Luke Campbell

Former British professional boxer. Education is the pathway to a better future for a Nation. Being dedicated and working tirelessly for education, produces a fruitful result. The great result breaks down tough hindrances. Our students of Lyceum Nuwara Eliya have proven the power of hard work and determination through the ultimate results that they have obtained. Despite all the struggles in the examination, they showed their highest performance, and today, they represent themselves shining as District Rank holders.

In his address, Chief Guest Dr. Mahendra Senevirathna shared his valuable thoughts with the audience. He marked the significance of “appreciating” such achievements of students and how it affects their self-confidence of them while encouraging other students equally. He appreciated the school immensely for organizing such an event with this specific purpose. One of the most admired thoughts he shared was that “success” wasn't a destination; but rather a “journey” that should continue. The Lyceum family congratulates all the students who placed the Lyceum community on top and made us feel proud. In addition, we wish all our students who faced their examinations successfully and gained great results for their undying efforts. Furthermore, we believe that all our students will be at a great height in their academic lives in the future and become great global citizens.
