Power of Collaboration and Art of Business #44

 Greetings dear readers, 


Welcome to another captivating week at Avinya! We've had quite the whirlwind of activities and exciting developments, and I'm here to spill all the delightful details for you. 


First and foremost, I'm thrilled to announce that our meticulous recruitment process for new educators has reached its successful conclusion. We've handpicked two individuals who will soon become invaluable members of our Avinya family. Their fresh perspectives and expertise are sure to add a new dimension to our already vibrant educational environment. We can't wait to involve them in the day-to-day hubbub we’ve come to know and love!


Meanwhile, our junior floaties have been diligently working on student recruitment for the upcoming September intake. They have taken on the responsibility of reaching out to applicants, scheduling interviews, and providing invaluable assistance throughout the entire recruitment project. Their dedication and all-around awesomeness truly embody the spirit of Avinya, and we couldn't be prouder of their remarkable efforts.


When it comes to enlightening parents and applicants about the Empower program and the unique offerings of Avinya, our star communicator Isuru has once again taken the lead. Together with the capable support of Dilani, Ilma, Vidushi, and Vihan, they have been providing detailed briefings and conducting interviews with potential students. As for the enrollment process, Sanduni and I have been trying to ensure a smooth transition for our new enrollees. We have two classes almost completely filled. An exhilarating win for the week!


In our commitment to holistic education, we organized an informative session on sexual health and safety, led by the knowledgeable Shanuki De Alwis. This session provided our students with valuable insights and awareness on a topic that is often neglected in traditional educational settings. The students expressed their heartfelt gratitude for such an enlightening session.


Last but certainly not least, our highly anticipated business pitches, part of the My Company Pvt Ltd project, are just around the corner! Our talented students have been working tirelessly to refine their innovative business ideas, preparing to showcase their entrepreneurial prowess in a (friendly) fight for investment. This competition not only encourages creativity and teamwork but also instills essential skills such as leadership and strategic thinking. The anticipation in the air is contagious, and we can't wait to witness the remarkable ideas our students bring to the table tomorrow in the ultimate showdown.


And that’s a wrap, for this week at the academy! Tune in with us every week for more exciting updates on our educational journey!

#51 Triumphant Milestones and Unstoppable Momentum

Hello dear readers, Graduation day had finally arrived, and it was nothing short of a massive success in all our eyes! As each student proudly received their certificates, the homeroom teachers shared heartfelt one-liners that echoed the unique journey each student had taken at Avinya. In true Avinya fashion, we faced a few hiccups here and there (we perhaps should not have put our Executive Directress in a saree on this important day) but all in all it was a beautiful day that showcased the culmination of hard work and dedication from the first batch of the Empower program. Our educator Ilma, has some thoughts to share about this day as well! "I can do things you cannot. You can do things I cannot. Together we can do great things." - Mother Teresa That’s a wrap! When I was asked to take the lead in organising the graduation ceremony I accepted without batting an eyelash; not because I was confident in myself, but because I was confident in my team. We work together like clog

Vocational Magic in the Works #45

Greetings dear readers, I’ve taken the floor yet again, collaborating with a couple of educators to document another eventful week at Avinya! The week commenced with a burst of excitement as intriguing developments unfolded in all three vocational areas. Vidushi and Dee have some wonderful thoughts to share with us about them! A highlight this week was the Jetwing training which spanned three days. During the three days the students explored what is unique about being in the hospitality industry paying special attention to the importance of quality service. They also worked in teams to explore difficult situations that could occur in their day to day workplace through role plays and had a lively discussion on the importance of feedback and how to take direction. The most important aspect was enlightening the students on the variety of options and departments that lie in the hospitality industry and how important it is to choose what suits your personality the best. A BIG thank you to R

Series 2 Blog #1 - Roses, budding coders and bonding time

Hi everyone, Our 53rd weekly blog post couldn't have come at a more fitting time. As we put the final touches on preparing our second batch to get a taste of “empowerment”, it's as if the universe aligned to remind us of the journey we've embarked on.  " The direction you choose to face determines whether you’re standing at the end or the beginning of a road. " - Richelle E. Goodrich In the midst of the hustle and bustle, a close friend reached out to me last week after reading our #52 blog to tell me just how amazed she is about how far we've come. It was then that I realized I hadn't taken a moment to stop and smell the roses and appreciate where we are now.  We've been so focused on pushing forward, always striving for the next milestone.  So, as I reflect on where we are now, there are many things that come to mind but two things stand out  It wasn’t easy  It won’t be easy  “ We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon instead
