Founder’s Day brings with it a sense of joy, celebration, and deep reflection on the humble beginnings of Lyceum—an institution founded with a vision for the betterment of the children of Mother Lanka.
This year, the main celebration was hosted at Lyceum Panadura in honour of their Silver Jubilee, commemorated in May 2025. Employees from across the island, representing all 10 Lyceum schools, were recognised for their dedicated service, celebrating milestones of 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and even 30 years.
All the schools followed a unified agenda and dedicated time to watch the special Founder’s Day video, which featured heartfelt messages from the Founder, Dr. Mohan Lal Grero, Consultant Coordinating Principal Dr. Kumari Grero, and Group Chairman and CEO Mr. Nikitha Grero, who shared their insights on the institution’s journey and the values they continue to uphold.
A particularly meaningful feature was the Emeritus Teacher segment, where ten outstanding past educators were nominated and awarded the prestigious Emeritus Award. This recognition was based on nominations received from various Lyceum branches, acknowledging those who have made a lasting impact on generations of students.
This year’s Emeritus Award recipients were:
- Mrs. Chatra Withana
- Mrs. Mary Moureen Perera
- Mr. A.S.P. Chandrasekara
- Mrs. Juvenalene James
- Mrs. Anoja Shamalie Elvitigala
- Mrs. Lalanthie Shirani Weerasooriya
- Mrs. Vineetha Weerakkody
- Mrs. Sujatha Wijesinghe
- Mr. S.M. Donald Wickrama
- Dr. J.B. Dela’l Kahandawela
These esteemed educators were honoured at the Lyceum Panadura, standing as beacons of excellence and dedication in the field of education.
Founder’s Day is more than a celebration—it is a reaffirmation of Lyceum’s founding values and an appreciation of all who have contributed to its mission. Through remembrance, gratitude, and inspiration, the day continues to shape the future by honouring the past.
