Research and Development Unit - 2017
Funding for computer and networking facilities, internet access and purchasing educational materials for newly created research and development unit.
Project: Research and Development Unit
Year: 2017
Project Cost: AUD 11,000 (LKR 1,150,000)
Beneficiaries: All students at JHC
Purpose: Funding for computer and networking facilities, internet access and purchasing educational materials for newly created research and development unit.
Summary: This is a new and challenging area of education in our homeland. The main purpose of this unit is to enhance the ability of high achieving students to reach their true potential in their area of interest. We believe that this program will help students to open up their creative ability and change their way of thinking to make a difference to our society.
Though, this is a small step towards producing a future inventor, mathematician, scientist or a great leader, we believe it is worth encouraging this area of development within our school community to develop a prosperous and capable generation who can compete at world stage.
As part of this program, monthly seminars and research workshops will be conducted by industry experts, University Academics and Professionals. This will create opportunities for students to acquire broader knowledge and skills in their younger age to pursue their dream.
Equipping Laboratories - 2016
This year our OBA Victoria has committed to provide necessary equipment’s to Physics, Chemistry & Biology Laboratories. Our school administration in Jaffna has indicated that there are continuing need for new materials including chemicals & lab equipments to perform important practicals in the laboratories. Since good practical experiences are critical for the development of students mainly in their year 11 & 12, we believe that this is a worthwhile investment for our students.
Therefore, this year we committed to fund around Rs. 900,000/- (AU$9,000) for these projects. The school administration will provide all necessary maintenance support to keep these laboratories function well.
Chemistry Lab Upgrade and Expansion - 2014
Essential equipment, Glassware and chemicals were supplied to the ‘A’ level chemistry to facilitate the educational needs for our students. The total cost of this project was SLR 761,263.50 (AUD $6,260.00) including SLR 372,257.50 for the chemicals, and SLR 173878.50 for glassware and SLR 215,127.50 for permanent equipment.
Benefits to Students
The facilities provided by the OBA Victoria to the chemistry laboratory extends the students scientific learning experience on various types of chemical, material and process science experiments. These facilities will also enhance the learning method and provide more hands-on experience to our students. Having the chemistry laboratory with essential modern equipment and facilities, will help in preparing our students with high calibre knowledge and give them a preferable learning environment. We believe this project can make a positive impact on the involvement and educational performances of our student. Where our “INTHU ANNAI” always proud of!
Computer Lab
The JHC OBA Victoria in conjunction with the School Development Council brought the science lab into functional state after about twenty years. While the School Development Council was involved in renovating and ensuring the infrastructure was suitable for the lab, JHC OBA Victoria has funded the cost of Rs. 397,364.00 towards the supply of all the Equipments, Glassware and Chemicals required to the science lab.

Sponsorship
Two of the six students selected to represent Sri Lankan delegate in the International Junior Science Olympiad Competition 2011 in Durban were from Jaffna Hindu College. While the cost of country registration, food and accommodation were provided by National Science Foundation and the organising committee respectively, the participants had to bear the cost of airfare from Colombo to Durban.
The JHC OBA Victoria contributed SLR 85,000 towards half the airfare for one of the two selected students. One of the students Suthareswaran Vithyasahar has won the bronze medal in this International Junior Science Olympiad Competition.
