#AnnitesMemes: A walk to remember
This goes far beyond the recurring walk that everyone saw at the College where Rev. Bro. Denzil Mendis tried to reach out to the students. You are looking at the footsteps of a great man who led our boys and the College to success and left a path for all to follow.

#AnnitesMemes: Well done, Putha!
It is so endearing to watch as Pruthivi was received by Rev. Fr. Chandana Hapuarachchi when he arrived at the College for the first time since his triumph at 2022 South Asian Karate Championship.

10th death anniversary of Rev. Bro. Denzil Mendis
Heroes are not born when things are easy but when things are quite difficult. Today, we are celebrating the life and legacy of a hero who stepped in when things seemed challenging and oversaw a pivotal era in our College's history. He taught us to believe in ourselves and not to give up whatever the circumstance is. This sums up the true Annites spirit of Possumus.
As a fair and kind leader and mentor, he treated everyone with dignity and worked hard to understand the students and gave them the right opportunities to shine while solving the problems they faced. He broadened the horizon for our boys far beyond academia to open up a whole host of opportunities in extracurricular activities. He kept little time to himself and was visibly active all over the College. His recurring walks beginning well before the morning chimes and continuing well into the afternoon trying to connect with students and teachers were an obvious sight still remembered today.
It's often easy to take things for granted, but it takes a person with great vision and actions to make the things we take for granted a reality. The tenure of Rev. Bro. Denzil Mendis holds a special place in our journey as a College to get us to where we are today.
It's been 10 years, but it almost felt like yesterday. You may have gone to a better place, but the positive impact you had on our College as our beloved mentor and on society as a messenger of God is immortal and your legacy will live on. -

76th Birthday of Brother Placidus
Today, we extend our heartfelt wishes to Reverend Brother Placidus Fernando on his 76th birthday.
Brother Placidus dedicated 12 years to St. Anne's College, starting in 2007. At the time he graced our College, he had already retired from academia following 38 years of long service. Although officially retired, he remained highly involved, providing invaluable assistance and overseeing the College hostel.
A true polymath, his linguistic works are considered masterful, and his vast knowledge made him a walking encyclopedia. During Brother Placidus' time at the College, both Reverend Brother Denzil Mendis and Reverend Brother Ernest Tarcisius, who served as Principals, frequently sought his counsel for matters requiring intellectual expertise.
Known for his serene and friendly demeanor, he never seemed to lose his composure, earning him admiration from students and staff alike. A charismatic leader, mentor, and true steward of God's work, Brother Placidus is a cherished member of the De La Salle Community and the second most senior De La Salle Brother in Sri Lanka. His life exemplifies nobility and serves as a true inspiration for all.
On this special day, we offer our warmest wishes to Brother Placidus, praying for his continued blessings, good health, and grace from God. Happy Birthday to Brother Placidus!
