MAIN PROJECTS
Drama Comp 2013
Overview
26 years ago the main Drama competition was the annual Shakespeare drama competition and since
that drama competition is strictly a competition of the works of William Shakespeare, we the
Interact Club of Royal College thought to organize a competition that has no boundaries in the field
of the dramatic arts. The fact this competition is not bound by genre specific works, gives actors and
directors the freedom to showcase their talents in something other than the likes of Shakespeare,
this freedom also improves the power of thinking and creativity of everyone involved in producing a
drama for this competition. Therefore Drama Comp was initiated.
The annual Inter- School Drama Competition (Drama Comp) organized by the Interact Club of Royal
College has emerged in the forefront of Inter- School Drama Competitions and has maintained that
standard for the past 26 years.
It has created many talented actors who have later continued to become professionals in the drama
field. This has gained immense popularity within the school going community and has never failed to
attract large crowds.
The 18th
Drama Comp organized in the year 2004 was acclaimed to be of a very high standard with
an increase in participation and a large audience. It has since then continued to be recognized,
raising the boundaries each successive year.
Colombo saw the likes of this project last year. Following the success which this project enjoyed in
previous years the Interact Club of Royal College has decided to organize Drama Comp once again.
This project is continued by our club with impact due to the lack of other meaningful English drama
competitions in Sri Lanka, and also because we believe that this project provides stimulus and
opportunities for young thespians within schools. It also leaves room for Sri Lankans to experience
the magic of drama first hand. With these noble aims in mind the Interact Club of Royal College is
happy to unveil the Inter School Drama Competition for the 27th
time this year.
Semi Finals
Following the Annual Shakespeare Drama Competition, schools were not given dress rehearsal time
allocations but were given stage information in advance.

9 | P a g e
Due to a lack of spacing within the premises of Namel Malini Punchi theatre and the need to display
banners given by sponsors etc. There was no décor put on display during the semi-finals.
The doors to the Namel Malini Punchi Theatre were opened by 9.30am with a passive crowd coming
in. With the plays kicking off at 10.00am, the crowd gradually increased to an impressive level. A
lunch break was given from 12.00pm-1.00pm and then the show continued.
Finals
The dress rehearsals were also held on the 2nd
of May, prior to the show. All the schools arrived on
time for their respective rehearsal time allocated, so the day was smooth in its proceedings.
The décor plan this year was carried out under the “Medieval” theme. The décor setup did not
create a hindrance to the rules and regulations of Lionel Wendt so all components were set and no
accidents occurred during the course of the day. Finally décor was a great success not only project
wise, but even when it came to the bonding of the committee.
As soon as the gates were opened the Lionel Wendt became crowded, even after there were only
very few tickets to be sold thanks to the Lionel Wendt ticket sales. Thanks to this and our publicity
campaigns we managed to get a full house, selling every last ticket.

10 | P a g e
Objective

2) To provide the opportunity to build character for the youth through the practice of dramatic

Fun-Duh-Mental
Overview
Phase 1
The first phase of fun duh mental is a finance project. The finance project for this year was the
launch of a book named Kuveni’s Curse. The name originated from the history of Sri Lanka, the time
in which the rakshas ruled Sri Lanka. Kuveni was the princes of the raksha tribe. After the arrival of
Prince Vijaya, Kuveni got married to him and helped him defeat her own tribe to win over Sri Lanka.
Prince Vijaya betrayed her and got married to a Pandyan princess and banished Kuveni out of the
country. Kuveni cursed the land of Sri Lanka.
The book is based on this story and the things which happened after this era. ‘Kuvenis Curse’
consists of stories of people who went through the disasters in our country. Tsunami, war, droughts,
floods are some of the few things which affected most of the population in Sri Lanka. Why is this
happening to us? Is it because of the curse Kuveni had when she was abandoned from this country?
The question still remains answered, but there are many people suffering in this country. The book
has stories of people who are suffering because they were affected from the war, the Tsunami etc.
These people have shared their stories in relation to how they overcame their problems and how
they never gave up the fight to survive. .
‘Kuveni’s Curse’ was launched on the 26th
of December 2012 at the Royal College Union under the
patronage of the Chief Guest Mrs. Prashani Rambukwela. The welcome speech was given by Int.
Yachitha Samaraweera and Int. Sashara Wijeratne. The history of Fun Duh Mental was read out by
the Secretary of Fun Duh Mental 2012, Int. Samendri De Silva. The committee made a presentation
on the disasters and gave brief introduction to the book. The Chief Guest Mrs. Prashani Rambukwela
won the Gratian award for her book Mithil’s Secret. She spoke on how people should write books
and set their minds towards achieving their task. The committee invited a woman who had been
through a lot just like the people written about in the book. She spoke about her life, what she went
through and how she overcame her difficulties. After the story was completed the book was
launched by the Chairpersons handing over the book to our chief guest. The event concluded with
the thank You speech given by the Chairpersons of Fun Duh Mental 2012, Int. Dinuka Ahangama and
Int. Sandalie Gomes.

18 | P a g e
Phase 2
The second phase is a Community Service Project. This project is the main pbjective of Fun Duh
Menntal and the Finance project is done in order to raise money for this. This year the committee
decided to help a hospital in need of med care. It was found that the Elpiyiya Base Hospital, a
hospital which was operated by the Provincial Council of Elpitiya was constructed a few years ago,
and that they were short of resources. Nebulizers are one of the basic needs of a hospital. As the
Elpitiya was short of resources the committee decided to help this hospital by donating Nebulizers…
The second phase was conducted on the 6th
of April, 2013 at the Elpitiya Base Hospital. The
committee along with the teachers in charge of both schools presented the nebulizers to the head
doctor at the elpitiya base hospital and there was a small presentation ceremony organized drawing
yet another successful project to close.

Project Growth
 In the previous year, the finance aspect of the project was a musical show combined with a
carnival. This time around the finance aspect of the project was able to be combined along
with community service as well. Publishing the stories of these individuals gave exposure to
the stories of their lives to the general public. It not only severed the community of those
affected in the publication, but also seemed to be a form of enlightenment and motivation
to the rest of the community. This served as a growth to this community service project.
 This time the committee was able to raise Rs.120,000 more than the previous year as well.
NOTE – As the project differs from year to year it is almost an impossible task to compare the
previous year’s project.

Bradby Shield Souvenir
Overview
The annual Royal- Trinity Rugby Encounter, also known as the Bradby Shield Encounter is
one of the most significant, or the most significant rugby event in the Sri Lankan Rugby calendar.
Royalists and Trinitian’s flock to the two legs held in rotation in Kandy and Colombo each year to
witness a great tradition and some of school’s rugby’s greatest talent. Every year the Bradby
Encounter produces two thrilling, action packed, quality rugby encounters and what the Interact
Club of Royal College hopes to do each year is to give the spectators and players a souvenir that will
be their primary memorabilia of the event, in the traditional fashion. The Bradby Shield Souvenir is
considered one of the top publications of Royal College and we hope to make it bigger and better as
it progresses from year to year.
In terms of the ICRC, this project has not only a traditional value, but is very important to the
club as it is one of the major Finance projects. Therefore this project is an opportunity for the
publication as well as the club to grow.
The committee is initially compiled on a voluntary basis and then is finalized on the basis of
the members reaching their targets, deadlines and levels of commitment. The initial target of the
committee is to collect a certain number of advertisements to fund the souvenir. It is not an easy
task to limit the committee according to these boundaries, but it is a method that ensures that
targets are achieved, deadlines are met and commitment stays at a maximum during all times, which
will hopefully bring an outcome of an amazing souvenir.
To accompany the publication, complimentary items are also made available by the
committee. This year’s complimentary items were a bag, a key tag and a poster.
The 69th Bradby Shield; the 160th Royal-Trinity Rugby Encounter took place during the 2nd Leg of
the event on the 15th of June 2013 at the Royal College Sports Complex commencing at 4 pm. The
souvenirs were ready to be sold by 12pm. The committee had to set up two stations due to
organizing decisions. The main station was set up within the complex in the Table Tennis Room. The
second station was set in the newly built Sky Pavilion which was situated right in front of the Grand
Stand .This was a great challenge for us as it was the first time ever we had to sell souvenirs in the
brand new Sky Pavilion .The committee members were given their badges and then both the
committee and the members of the club who were present on the day to support the committee

27 | P a g e
were given a briefing on the day’s plan. Everyone was sent to their respective places right after the
briefing.
The souvenirs were sold at Rs. 400 (inclusive of the complimentary bag, a key tag and a
poster) Approximately 650 souvenirs were available for sale after separating the complimentary
souvenirs for the advertisements, articles, teams, committees and special persons. The total number
of souvenirs printed was 1000. The committee was successful in selling out all available souvenirs
and did so with great enthusiasm and efficiency. Among all the success it was unfortunate to witness
a defeat to Royal College, but the committee believes that the team performed at their very best
and always kept in mind that it is not important whether you win or lose, but what is important is
how you played the game. Total souvenir sales for the 69th
Bradby Shield Souvenir is calculated to
the value of Rs. 255,200

28 | P a g e
Objectives
1) Serving college.
2) To make available a souvenir at the Colombo leg of the Bradby Shield Encounter, whilst
ensuring that due parties are given necessary recognition.
3) Providing essential information in relation to this event to those who purchase this souvenir.
4) Raising funds for the Interact Club of Royal College.

This year we were able to print an addition of 100 copies of the souvenir in comparison to last year.
It not only helped our finances but also made more souvenirs available for those intrigued to have
one.

o This time we were able to include the names of the players of the junior rugby teams as well.
o We were able to include a page in the souvenir containing the autographs of every player of
the 1st
XV rugby team, as it is a tedious task for fans to obtain every single one of them.

Celebrate Diversity
Overview
Celebrate Diversity was a Community service project organized by the Interact Clubs
of Bishop’s College and Royal College, together with the Rotary Club of Colombo, in
affiliation with the E.A.S.E. Foundation.
This project took place on the 3rd
of November 2012, at the Royal College Skills
Centre. It comprised of a seminar, an art exhibition and a fun day for the children.
The seminar aimed at increasing awareness about children with various disabilities,
focusing on autism in particular. The art exhibition featured drawings, paintings and
other works of art done by the children of the E.A.S.E. Foundation, and other
children with disabilities. The fun day was organized to entertain the children of the
parents who attended the seminar.
Celebrate Diversity was carried out in partnership with the E.A.S.E. Foundation
(Educate, Advocate, Support, Empower), which is a non-profit organization whose
principle aim is to provide education for children with autism and other disabilities
in a nurturing environment.
Mrs Anoja Rajapatirana and her autistic son Mr Chandima Rajapatirana are its co-
founders and co-presidents. Most of the students at E.A.S.E. Foundation are highly
skilled in the fields of art and writing.
When the Rotary Club of Colombo was approached by this foundation, they had an
idea of organizing an art exhibition featuring the arts and crafts of their students,
but required the assistance of the Rotary Club of Colombo, and the Interact Clubs of
Bishop’s College and Royal College, in order to carry it out successfully.
The art exhibition featured paintings, drawings, and decorated vases and stools
done by the students of E.A.S.E. Foundation and other children with disabilities
from various parts of Sri Lanka.
The project was declared open by the lighting of the traditional oil lamp by the
President of the Rotary Club of Colombo Rtn Rajiv Walpita, Rtn PP Donald
Gaminithilake the Assistant Governor for the Rotary Club of Colombo, Rtn PP
Ananda de Silva the District Interact Committee Chairperson, Int PP Ruvindu
Bandara The District Interact Representative, the chief guest for the day Mrs Sybil
Wettasinghe, and the Guest of Honour Ms NG Kamalawathi, among others.

40 | P a g e
After the lighting of the oil lamp, religious observances were conducted by four
religious leaders. Next, the art exhibition was declared open by Mrs Sybil
Wettasinghe.
The arts and crafts on display at the exhibition were also available for purchase, and
at the conclusion of the exhibition, quite a few paintings and vases were purchased.
All proceeds were given to the E.A.S.E. Foundation to further improve their facilities.
While the art exhibition displaying arts and crafts by children with various
disabilities, from the EASE foundation, and other such organizations, was going on,
there was a seminar for parents of such children, aimed at improving their level of
awareness, while also providing them with a suitable forum to voice their concerns
and questions to a panel of well suited individuals.
The seminar commenced with the Welcome Address which was delivered by the
two chairpersons of Celebrate Diversity from Bishop’s College and Royal College.
The seminar saw several distinguished speakers addressing the gathering and
presenting invaluable information on how to handle and treat children with various
disabilities, and the common problems that occur in parenting such children. All
those who were present left the seminar with a much clearer understanding about
children with disabilities.
The occasion also saw the presence of Rtn PP Majid Cader the Chairman of New
Generations of the Rotary Club of Colombo, Rtn PP Nimal Samarakkody the
Chairman of Community Service of the Rotary Club of Colombo, Rtn PP Janaki
Anandasundaram New Generations Chairperson, and the co-chairpersons of
Celebrate Diversity from the Rotary Club of Colombo, Rtn PP Pubudu de Zoysa and
Rtn Andrew Samuel.
A few members of the Drama Society of Royal College presented a small skit
depicting one of the many uncomfortable situations that children with disabilities
have to face on a daily basis, because of the stereotypical mindset of most people.
Members of the District Committee and members of other Interact Clubs too were
present at this seminar, in order to spread awareness about such children.
At the conclusion of the seminar, all the children were called into the seminar room,
and given individual gift packs which included art supplies.
While the seminar for the parents was going on, the children from the EASE
foundation who were present on the day were involved in a ‘Fun Day’ organized by

41 | P a g e
the two Interact Clubs specially for them, with the supervision of a few parents and
teachers from the EASE Foundation.
There were several games organized for the children. They were:
Lime and Spoon Race
Simon Says
keeping the eye on the elephant
Musical Chairs
All the children whole heartedly enjoyed the games, and were later given a small
snack and Milo as refreshments.

42 | P a g e

Tap 7’ns
Overview
Tap rugby 7’s is an annual club service project organized jointly by the Interact Clubs of Royal College
and Trinity College Kandy. The key essence of this project is the organizing of a tap rugby
tournament among the Interact clubs of all schools within the vicinity of Colombo as well as Kandy.
This project initiated back in 2010 has seen much success in the past two years and still stands as the
only major Interact project organized along with another institution outside Colombo. Tap rugby 7’s
being a club service project has not only given the opportunity for many young Interactors to
showcase their talents but also the opportunity to Interact and bond with many other fellow
Interactors. The uniqueness of this event has always succeeded in attracting crowds and much
interest among all.
The organizing schools are also no strangers to rugby. Royal College and Trinity College the oldest
rugby playing institutions in the country which gave much chance for the project to flourish. The
Bradby Shield which is played annually justifies this.
There are many reasons why this project turned out to be a success, out of which the listed below
are highlighted.
Rugby being a major spectator sport in Sri Lanka helped in bringing many spectators as possible for
the matches to be organized in this tournament.
Rugby being a major sport in both Colleges Trinity and Royal helped in getting necessary facilities like
grounds, referees etc. from the Old boys of both Colleges.
Student bodies of both Colleges were supportive of this project since Rugby being famous among
the student fraternity of both Colleges Trinity and Royal.
Thus the Interact Clubs of Royal College and Trinity College proudly unveiled yet another phase of
this unique project last December.
Preliminary rounds (Colombo)
The Colombo preliminary rounds this year took place on Sunday the 8th of December at the Royal
College Sports Complex. Tap 7’s this year saw revolution when a newly added Girls Category was
added.

49 | P a g e
Matches were played during the morning as well as the evening. Two parallel matches were played
on two sections of the grounds throughout the day. Matches were of timing 9 minutes half time and
2 minute break for initial rounds and 12 minutes half time and 3 minute break for later rounds.
The rules and regulations for the matches can be found below.
In addition to the matches the day also saw a number of game stalls open free for all players as well
as visitors (Interactors only). In spite this being a semi-finals a Live DJ and a number of food and
beverage stalls.
Preliminary Rounds (Kandy)
The Kandy preliminaries for Royal Trinity Tap Rugby Sevens were held on the 8th
of December 2012
at the Asgiriya Stadium. With the sun rays shining high over the Kandyan Hills, it proved to be the
perfect day for rugby.
With a massive crowd of over 500 personnel gathered in the whereabouts of the Asgiriya Stadium
and the pavilions, the matches kicked a start in the morning and went on till mid-evening.
Matches were played in the league format in the start and then later on moved on to knockouts
when coming to the final rounds.
Matches were played for durations of 15 minutes with halves of 7 each. In the later part the final
knockouts were played for a time frame of 10 minutes a half with a break of 4 minutes.
In addition to the entertainment on the playing field, there were many more entertainment events
compromising of fun activities, games and DJ music all over the Asgriya Stadium. Amidst the
entertainment off the field, the premiere focus was on to the field where the spectators experienced
an excellent display of rugby.
Tap Sevens being limited to a tournament had the urge of going past those boundaries to capture a
better perception. A series of visitors games were organized and were successfully played off in
between the games.

50 | P a g e
There were teams from Kandy Rotaract, Peradeniya Rotaract, the Trinity College 1st
XV and the Old
Boys participating for Tap sevens to play exhibition games for the entertainment of the crowd.
Tap Sevens Kandy was a special moment for many, especially for schools like Spirngfield College and
Kandy Grammar School who were alien to the game and had not played the game till the day of Tap
sevens. This was a remarkable date for them since it was the first occasion where they represented
their school in a fully-fledged tournament of this nature.

51 | P a g e
Objectives
1) To provide a platform for interactors to display their sportsmanship through the game of
rugby.
2) To provide the opportunity for the members of this movement to further strengthen their
bonds.
3) To bridge the distance between our club and that of an outstation school by working hand
in hand on achieving common objectives.

Talent Search
Overview
A contest of song, music and dance; a platform for them to display their talents that are yet to be
discovered: Talent Search brings together youth from all parts of the island to compete with absolutely
no limitations of categories, and winning purely based on raw Talent.
Initiated in 1995, Talent Search is a brainchild of the Interact Club of Royal College. Organized for the
past number of years in collaboration with a number of schools, such as St. Bridget’s Convent,
Visakha Vidhyalaya, Girls High School and Muslim Ladies College, Talent Search was organized
independently in 2005 and has remained thus ever since.
Talent Search provides opportunities to students to display their abilities under a number of
categories. Thus it is acclaimed as the premiere talent competition focused on the student
community and a vast array of talents. Thus Talent Search quickly gained recognition and
popularity, amongst artists and the public.
Talent Search has gathered strength and has thrust beyond boundaries hitherto unchallenged by any
student organization. With new innovations, new categories and new opportunities being added
along the way, the project has grown to unprecedented levels and today, remains to be more than a
mere student initiative. Over the years, it has lived up to its expectations in bringing out electrifying
artistes such as Bathiya and Santhush, The Creators, Ranidu Lankage, Ashanthi and Stigmata. The
years 2004 and 2005 saw a full house at BMICH bringing in crowds from not just Colombo.
Talent Search has stood strong as an event due to the sound organizing and meticulous planning
that is behind it. The ICRC has strived to maintain all standards of professionalism and efficiency in
organizing this event. Thus, within the national Interact Movement Talent Search has been
nominated for the All-Island Best Finance Project Award ever since it was initiated and has won it 5
times.
Our greatest achievement was signing an exclusive contract with corporate giant Pepsi-cola. Talent
Search was sponsored by Pepsi for the years 2004 and 2005. Thus, it achieved the standard of being
the first student initiative to be sponsored by a multi-national corporation. This is a testament to
the quality of this project, and the interest it holds to the corporate community as an investment
opportunity. During the year 2005, Pepsi-cola and JWT won the Chilies Award for the Best
Campaign of the Year, which is partly due to the publicity campaign carried out at Talent Search.

66 | P a g e
Unfortunately as time passed the project failed to continue, and after a lapse of a few years ICRC is
proud to revive this forgotten contest once again.
The Event was held on the 26th
of June 2013 at the Park Street Mews Stables. The day started off
with stage setup as usual, and putting up all the deco. Then after everything was setup the
contestants arrived for their Sound Check which did not take more than 2 hours.
At 6.30 we opened the gates and started letting people in. The show was filled with different kinds
of performers. Which was one of our goals, to give the audience a diverse show. The show was done
by around 9.30 pm. In which we were very lucky as the show flowed very smoothly.

67 | P a g e
Objectives
1) To recognize a performer of talent in the field of entertainment that enthralls an audience.
2) To reward such talent.
3) To provide a platform to showcase talent of the youth.
