SLSPO Students go on Field Trip

The representative at National PVC led our 18 students on a tour around the factory in Ragama on Friday. For many students it was their first time to a factory, and for all, it was a chance to enhance their friendships, learn deeply about materials science and thermoplastics in particular, and learn about how people live and work in Ragama and in factories.
