From the Editors“The fruits of labour are the sweetest of all pleasures.”- Luc de Vauvenargues

We come to the end of our tenure with a deep sense of satisfaction. Our efforts have been richly rewarded through the enthusiastic participation of our members, the knowledge we have helped inculcate into our school children and teachers, the tangible school improvements we leave behind for the posterity of the young Bridgetines, as well as the smiles of our corporate social responsibility beneficiaries.

Of our four focus areas – our member activities – all six of them, drew in unprecedented participation and were much enjoyed by all. The student and teacher development programs benefitted the entire school from the Montessori to the Primary school to the Collegiate school. The Library upgrading projects were continued for the Montessori school, the Primary school and the Collegiate school. And of course the culmination of the School projects was the presentation of an asphalt surfaced Netball court to the Collegiate school. Our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) project focused on the Community, the Environment and the Employees. The Community project centered on two under-privileged schools in Perakuwatana and Kuliyapitiya. Whilst providing assistance to these two schools through funds raised by us, we record with much fulfilment our facilitation of two high value projects via the Fair Trade Committee of Serendipol (Pvt) Ltd.

Keeping abreast of the e-generation we went electronic with much of our communication. Our E-mail database is continuously growing and the PPA website is fully updated and a comprehensive repository of PPA information, whilst the PPA facebook page is also extremely popular with all ages of Bridgetines. Our member database was also upgraded with a new software application, for easy access of member information.

Whilst engaging in the above activities, we as a committee participated in all school activities for which we were extended invitations, and also assisted the school in a multitude of other matters where our assistance was requested. We also actively interacted with Associations abroad ensuring that the Bridgetine network around the globe keeps growing strongly, whilst mustering financial support from them for the completion of the Primary school and Collegiate school Library upgrading that was initiated in 2013.

So as we sign off, waving the Green and White flag forever, we take this opportunity to wish the incoming Executive committee all the very best in their endeavors.

MEMBER EVENTS

Bridgetine Soirée – 1st December 2013

The last event for the year 2013 was the Bridgetine Soirée, an evening

of song, dance and comedy much enjoyed by the Bridgetines and their

families. This was held on December 1st heralding in the Christmas

season with a bang.

The Cinnamon Lakeside Ballroom was the setting for this

exciting evening of entertainment.

Thanks to the generosity of many sponsors, all

guests were provided with ‘Give aways’ consisting

of a miscellany of items upon entry, much to their

surprise and delight. Adding lustre to the occasion

was the simple but elegant décor, in black and

gold, complemented by the same combination of

colours worn by the committee members and also the

guests. Wine, with compliments of the house, added much to lift the spirits of the guests,

in more ways than one.

Scintillating music by the group BLACK, which name incidentally totally tied in with the theme colours, started

off the evening, which even in the early hours saw the feisty Bridgetines on the floor. Several entertainment

items were on the agenda to provide variety and to cater to both the young and active and the not so

young and more sedentary guests. A rip roaring performance by the veteran comedian cum actor Mr Wilson

Gunaratne had the audience in stitches. His impersonations of public personalities and also those of different

nationalities were absolutely spot on. The one and only Mignone Fernando, a proud Bridgetine, brought back

many memories with her melodious singing. Indu Dharmasena and her team entertained the crowd with a side splitting skit, set in a local

scenario. Ronnie Leitch in his inimitable style was able to hold the crowd with his witty comments and maintain a crowded dance floor with his

comic verses set in Baila rhythm.

A raffle draw was held with three prizes being given. The much coveted first prize was a return air ticket to Bangkok. The finger

food and drink served at the tables did much to satisfy the appetites of the hungry guests, and was later followed by a heartier

Mongolian barbeque. The Soirée continued well past midnight with unflagging vigour displayed by the Bridgetines. From the

feedback obtained, both written and verbal, the event was a resounding success.

St. Bridget’s Day – 1st February 2014February 1st saw the Bridgetines gathered together at the school chapel to

offer prayers for the school and all religious, teachers, students and staff

associated with the school, both past and present. The altar was beautifully

decorated with pristine white flowers. The celebrant and preacher was the

much respected Rev. Fr Neil Karunaratne. Contempo, the past Bridgetines’

choir added much lustre to the service with their melodious harmony

in song. The mass was followed by an evening of fellowship at the

Primary School grounds.

The presence of a large number of members, Rev.

Sisters and several Past Presidents was indeed

most gratifying. The evening commenced with a

welcome address by the President, Dr. Nirmala

Pieris who also gave a brief review of the past

activities of the Association for

the benefit of the members.

The venue was beautifully set

out with little fairy lights, and

chairs and tables bedecked in

green and white. Although heavy skies portended rain, much to the

consternation of the organizers, St. Joseph majestically standing high

with an umbrella, did the needful and kept faith with the Bridgetines,

staving off the rain, keeping the evening cool and dry. After the welcome drink of iced

coffee and delicious chocolate cake, fun and games were part of the fellowship where both

young and not so young avidly participated. A scrumptious dinner was served to the members

fairly early, to make time for the inevitable dancing which is an indispensable part of any

Bridgetine function. An enjoyable evening was the sentiment expressed by many of those present.

330PARTICIPANTS

It is with much sorrow and regret that we record the tragic death of

our dear friend, schoolmate and PPA member, Mel Gunasekera. Mel

was the Assistant Vice President at Fitch Ratings Lanka and a senior

business Journalist. We grieve for her untimely and brutal death, and

record that the last function she was seen at was the St Bridget’s Day

celebration. The many ‘if only’ surrounding her death are only too sad

to contemplate. Mel will be sorrowfully missed by her schoolmates

and also members of ‘Contempo’, the past pupils’ choir of which

she was an active member. We convey our heartfelt sympathies to

her family. Mel was truly a role model for all of us whose lives she

touched. ... May she rest in eternal peace.

Those we love don’t go away,

They walk beside us every day,

Unseen, unheard, but always near,

Still loved, still missed and very dear.

Netball Fiesta – 1st March 2014The final event organized by the incumbent committee during their term of office, was the Netball

Fiesta. The event was a momentous one for the Association as it marked the handing over of an

upgraded and reconstructed asphalt surfaced Netball court to the school. Much enthusiasm

and keenness was displayed by netballers of all ages, irrespective of the fact that most

of them had not played the game after leaving school. As befitting the religious practices

of the Convent, the programme for the day commenced with a blessing of the court by

Rev Fr. Gehan Gunatilleke. The official handing over of

the Court to the school was done with the symbolic

passing of two netballs by the President to Rev.

Sr. Solange Fernando and Rev. Sr. Shermila Jayawardena.

The presence of Ms Cynthia

Rasquinho, the school Sports Teacher

from 1948 – 1977 as a Special

Guest, was indeed a highlight of the

event. The attendance of nine Past

Presidents of the PPA was much appreciated as was the presence of the Presidents of the Past Pupils’ Associations of all four schools invited

to participate viz. Bishops College, Good Shepherd Convent, Kotahena, Holy Family Convent, Bambalapitiya and Ladies College, signifying their

friendship and support. Mention must also be made of the instant Facebook updates that kept the Bridgetines around the globe well informed

and the Facebook competitions prior to the event which again helped to build up the pre-event excitement and anticipation.

The winners of the under 35 age group was Melizan House, over 35 age group Griaux House, and over 50 Coudert House. Exhibition matches

were also played between the winners of the over 35 group and the present students, and a over 50s mixed group with the Rev. Sisters. Several

prizes and appreciation awards were given.

All in all it was a good day of fun and frolic with a valuable contribution to the school too. The Netball Fiesta was the swan song of the 2013/14

PPA committee who through its term, strived hard to provide enjoyable and memorable moments to its membership….. Adieu

Work on the construction of a new Netball court for the Collegiate school was initiated on

12th November 2013. This new Asphalt court (with movable goal posts, movable score

board etc.) is a total upgrade of the clay court that the School had all this time. The court

is located in close proximity to the much loved Banyan tree. The Netball court project was

totally funded with finances generated by the activity ‘Bridgetine Challenge & Beat show’

held in July 2013. This project was the largest and most important School project of the

PPA for the period 2013/2014. The total cost of the construction and ancillary facilities

was Rs.1,247,500/-. The court was handed over to the school on 1st March 2014 during

the Netball Fiesta.
