From my very first international experience at the 2021 Asian Youth Para Games in Bahrain where I was honored to win three gold medals and one silver, my journey in para-swimming has been both challenging and rewarding.

I remain humbled by the support and encouragement from SLIIT, which drives me to push my limits. Earning a silver medal at the 2023 Hangzhou Asian Para Games further reinforced my belief in myself and my hard work. I am deeply thankful for SLLIT for every opportunity to learn and improve, and I continue to strive for excellence in what I do.

Hello everyone, I’m Disara Abeywickrama from the Faculty of Humanities and Sciences. I began my degree program at SLIIT in 2019, right after my A/Ls, and I can confidently say this was the ideal place to begin my journey. The recognition I’ve received today isn’t 
just for academic performance—SLIIT provided me with numerous opportunities to grow beyond the classroom. I was a proud member of the SLIIT Debating Team, the Rotaract Club Editorial Team, the Leo Club, and the English Literary Association. These experiences shaped my personality and prepared me for the corporate world. The confidence I carry today is largely thanks to what SLIIT gave me. I’m proud to be a SLIIT graduate and I highly recommend it as the perfect place to start your future and achieve your goals.
