SAGA IV Postponed

The annual grand musical masterpiece SAGA, in it's fourth edition this year, presented by the school was postponed indefinitely on Thursday by the school authorities. The new date as posted in the official website, is the 26th of February 2008.

Schools To Be Re-opened on Monday?

Amid the highly tense situation present in Colombo and it's suburbs, the question as to when schools in the Western Province, which are presently shut down for two days (29th and 30th) temporarily halting the 3rd term examination which was in progress, will re-open has arisen. The news-items announcing the closure of the schools yesterday also stated that the Education Ministry has scheduled the re-opening on Monday, the 3rd of December, next week, but these news-items failed to clarify and confirm the actual date.
Due to the volatile nature of the country's security situation, it is best to observe events as they unfold and not jump to any conclusions. The supposed rumours of the Colombo water supply being contaminated by the terrorists and reports of a number of bombs being found all over Colombo have caused unnecessary panic among the city-dwellers. Therefore, we advise all of you to clarify the source of any information regarding the re-opening of schools.

SAGA IV

The SAGA musical extravaganza is back this year with it's fourth edition scheduled to be held on the 4th of December at the BMICH. This year's event promises a wide array and an excellent mix of Eastern and Western music supplemented by probably the best schoolboy orchestra in Sri Lanka, the Royal College Senior Orchestra. Please be their to witness the best of Royal and Sri Lanka perform to the fullest.........

Western Province Schools Closed

The education Minister Mr. Susil Premajayantha issued a statement yesterday saying that all Western Province schools including Royal College will be closed on the 29th and 30th of this month (today and tomorrow) due to the tense security situation created by the two bomb explosions carried out by the LTTE yesterday. He further stated that the 3rd term tests which are underway in all Government school will be temporarily suspended until a new examination time-table is scheduled.
