The Chief Guest gave the awardees an advice and an outstanding appreciation as worthy and long lasting as their achievements, by stating, “Life is a series of wins and losses. Sports teach people the art of becoming a gracious winner and loser, and how to handle either circumstances. People also learn to set goals. Some of you have won. Some came close to winning but came off second best, or third. Some did not win any medals. But don’t forget that each and every one of you is a winner, even those who can only claim that they only took part in a race”. The Lieutenant General also narrated the undying brilliance of the legendary athlete R. J. K. M Karunananda of the Sri Lanka Army who participated in the 10,000 meter race in Tokyo Olympics in 1964, to emphasize the significance of courage and determination in one’s sportsmanship.
The young Visakhians who participated in Badminton, Basketball, Chess, Diving, Karate, Netball, Rowing, Squash, Swimming and many more were awarded for their accomplishments and service to the school. The trophies for the most outstanding individual player of the year 2017 and the most outstanding team player of year 2017 were presented by the Chief Guest. The stage of the Colours Night was not only adorned with countless awardees but also by entertainment performances of dance, karate and gymnastics.
