Singer (Sri Lanka), the country’s number one consumer durables retailer, recently gave away Singer X Series notebooks to each of the top 10 Grade 5 scholarship winners. The prize-giving was organized by the Sri Lanka Rupavahini Corporation (SLRC) in order to celebrate the achievements of the country’s best Grade 5 students.
A Singer X Series Notebook, one of the leading PC brands in Sri Lanka, was presented to each of the top 10 Grade 5 scholarship winners by Vajira Tennekoon, Marketing Manager – Digital Media for Singer (Sri Lanka). Singer’s active sponsorship of this event is a testament to the company’s continuous contribution towards empowering national education and greater community engagement.
In particular, the Group has intensified its focus on building resonant relationships with the nation’s youth by understanding their dreams and aspirations. Singer has been recognised repeatedly as the ‘Youth Brand of the Year’, a distinction that pays tribute to the strength and success of Singer’s relationships with Sri Lankan youth.
The Singer X Series Notebook is powered by an Intel Dual Core processor, ensuring that all users enjoy blazing fast speeds, whether they are students, professionals, businessmen, or housewives. A genuine Windows 8 operating system has been installed on each of the notebooks given away as prizes, giving the winning students access to an unrivalled level of system stability and service.
Wettasinghe Arachchige Venuja Nimsath of Embilipitiya Primary School, the student who was ranked all island-first at the Grade 5 Scholarship Examination 2014, with 199 out of 200 marks, was also the first to receive a brand-new Singer X Series Notebook. The other students were drawn from areas as diverse as Polonnaruwa, Bemmulla, Mawanella, Angunakolapelessa, Badulla, Pokunuvita, Gampaha, and Colombo.
Each of the top students will get a boost in their studies with the new Singer X Series Notebook. Singer is confident that they will continue to set new standards of academic excellence, equipped with the very best in computing technology.
The company’s initiative is part of its larger efforts to uplift the standard of education in Sri Lanka. For example, Singer embarked on the Schools Development Project in 2010, in which the company invested in 160 schools around the country.
The country’s number one consumer durables retailer has sustained its support of schools across the island as part of its corporate social responsibility efforts. Indeed, this is the second consecutive year in which Singer gave away notebook PCs to the island’s best Grade 5 scholars.
