What a Change of SAGA

The last time the school had its big show, the Saga, things were done strangely.

🤫 Secret Selections

Picking the performers was a big secret. It wasn't about who was the best at singing or dancing (merit). It was about favouritism.

* The teachers' own children were chosen.

* Other kids whose parents knew the teachers well (had connections) were also picked.

The rest of the school didn't know anything about the selection.

📢 Public Money Demands

But when it was time to raise money, the secret ended! Suddenly, everyone knew about the Saga:

* Parents were hit with daily WhatsApp messages.

* The Principal talked to parents at Navarangahala.

* Class teachers had to force students to bring money.

* Every child had to pay at least Rs 3,500.

🤦 The Irony

Here's the funny (but annoying) part: Everyone in the school had to pay, but some of the selected performers didn't even pay! They said they had already spent a lot of money on their costumes. So, the whole school paid for the show, but the stars got a free pass.

🚪 The Notice Board Excuse

When parents asked, "Why was the selection a secret?" the school gave a silly answer. They said the message was put on the school notice board.
Think about that: All the money messages came on your phone (WhatsApp), but the important selection notice was put on a dusty old board.

Why use two different rules?

🙏 A Big Thank You (and A Big Hope)

We should really thank the new Principal, Athula Wijewardane Sir, and his team! They fixed this problem. Now, they put the selection notice where they belong: right on the class WhatsApp groups. Much better!
We also hope Principal Sir and his team are brave and strong. We hope they can get rid of the small cartel groups of parents and old boys who use their power to take away chances from the children who truly deserve them based on their talent (merit).
Let the best kids shine! ✨

ROYAL EMPOWERMENT OR ENGLISH DISASTER? PRINCIPAL’S SHOCKING WHATSAPP MESSAGE LEAVES PARENTS AND STUDENTS STUNNED!
