EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES THAT PETERITES STARTED BEFORE THE JOSEPHIANS – Algi Wijewickrema St. Peter’s College was launched as St. Joseph’s College, Colombo South by Rev. Fr. Maurice Le Goc, the visionary Rector of St. Joseph’s College in 1922 and obviously sports and many other extracurricular activities were introduced by St. Joseph’s from early years. Two examples are Cricketers studying at St. Peter’s playing for St. Joseph’s College up until a separate team represented St. Peter’s in 1927 and Football launched at St. Peter’s in 1925 while it was still St. Joseph’s College Colombo South. Although it is obvious that this should be the natural order of things, as St. Peter’s progressed as a College independent of St. Joseph’s after 1927, there are at least three activities that St. Peter’s College introduced before its brother school. This should not come as a surprise to anyone, least of all to Peterites as their ...
Trevine Rodrigo (eLanka – Melbourne) Catches up with Corrine Almeida It was an absolute pleasure catching up with top notch female vocalist and icon, Corrine Almeida, at our place for an overdue chat and dinner. She’s a breath of fresh air and our quiet meet up was one of reminiscing and health advice from a proven Yoga enthusiast. Corrine is here from Sri Lanka for two gigs, and judging by the sell out crowd at the Springvale Town Hall last week, the next one promises a similar outcome. She is a gifted entertainer. Corrine has been a huge draw in Australia and around the globe much like legendary Desmond De Silva, and her interaction with her fans has little parallel. She spoke with humility about how glad she was to be blessed with a faithful following, many who never fail to show up wherever she performs. She points out that ...
