Dear RCOBA NSW and ACT Member,
Welcome to the 2023 winter update.
Sri Lankan Schools 7 a side touch footy competition
The RCOBA NSW and ACT supported this popular event held on 23 April at the Kellyville Memorial Park Sydney for a second consecutive year. Two teams represented Royal college in the Open and Over 40 categories.
Well done to both teams and thank you to all those who participated and were present to support Royal.
Friendship Cup 2023
The RCOBA supported the Royal College Open team to participate in this inter school cricket carnival held on 25 April held at Jamison Park Penrith.
Royal won all three group games vs Prince of Wales, DS Senanayake and St Anthony’s losing in the semi final to Maris Stella College who went on to become the Cup champions.
Well done all, and Congratulations Maris Stella College!
Networking with other Sri Lankan School OBAs/OGAs
Select members of the Committee attended the S. Thomas and Wesley college annual dinner dance events held in May. Whilst the committee members (and partners) attended in their personal capacities, it was a good opportunity to show the RCOBA NSW and ACT’s support for events organised by fellow OBAs and OGAs. The Committee encourages all RCOBA NSW and ACT members to show your support to our fellow Sri Lankan schools by attending these events when possible.
