Session 1

Our Purpose

Gecko Inc. is a new CAS program at OSC had started this year, which focuses on athletic enrichment in our community. The students of this service and our athletic coordinator, Mr. Shipley, planned and initiated it from scratch. An issue to had come across was that Colombo does not have many athletic facilities and many schools do not have sufficient amount of athletic gear or supplies for their students. We realized that athletes who are motivated to practice their sport find themselves lost, not knowing where to go. Initially the idea of the service was to provide facilities for the community to come to our school and play their sport, gradually our group realized that the some school children required more than a place to play their sport, but do not have basic athletic gear like a basketball balls or cricket gloves. Therefore, the aim of the Gecko Inc. is to further improve and enrich the athletic community of our own school as well as others in Colombo. The students of Overseas School of Colombo meet every Saturday to organize a basketball event at our own facility, which is catered to anyone and everyone who is interested in playing sport; furthermore, all profits from the entrance fee, selling of refreshments and donations will be channeled into facilitating less fortunate schools that do not have sufficient athletic supplies.
