The first winning Peterite Cager team – By James Alagaratnam It’s been 60 years since. When five friends won it all at the inter-school basketball championships. (The 1963 All-Island Basketball Champions, St. Peter’s). Noting with pride, the current successes of St. Peter’s at the interschool basketball championships, I felt it appropriate, to write of the first championship team of college in 1963. We won it all. My interest in Basketball started at Junior level, grade 6 or 7 when older brother Stephen was playing for the college team, coached by – Mr. Jackie van Twest- of the tutorial staff(inset). The courts were at the north east corner of then grounds, running parallel with Davidson Road. The north perimeter walls bounded two houses that belonged to the Wiratunga’s and the Chandraratne’s. Lynn and brothers, Daya and Tissa ...

An appreciation of Harry de Sayrah, OAM – By Ivor Novello We would like today to pay tribute to a dear friend who has left us far too soon. It is with heavy hearts that we remember Harry de Sayrah, who touched our lives in ways that words can hardly describe. While we mourn the loss of a beloved companion, husband, father and grand-father, we also celebrate the beautiful and lasting impact Harry had on each of us. Harry was not just a friend; he was a beacon of light in our lives. He possessed a rare combination of qualities that endeared him to all who had the privilege of knowing him. He always kept in contact with his classmates, even after more than sixty years and continued to bring together those classmates who had lost touch with each other. One such example was myself, as I had lost contact ...

CHAMPION PETERITE RUGBY TEAMS FROM 1935 TO 2023 – by Algi Wijewickrama A well-known fact among the rugby playing schools in Sri Lanka is that the Peterites have a legacy to be proud of where rugby is concerned. A 91-year old saga which began in 1932 when the Peterites fielded their first team led by Lim Bilimoria to compete in the rugby arena. Being only the fifth school to take up the sport behind Kingswood, Trinity, Royal and Zahira, the Peterites have the unique distinction of beating Trinity (when Trinity was the team to beat), in only their 4th year of Rugby (1935) and sharing the Champion tag with Trinity in that year. Not satisfied with this laurel, in the very next year, they earned the unbeaten champion status and what is more, maintained their Champion status for five years from 1935 to 1939. Since then, up until this year, the ...
