• Total Candidates: 108
• Candidates Above District Cutoff (154): 31 (28.7%)
• Candidates Scoring Above 100: 104 (96.3%)
• Highest Score Achieved: 183

This year marked the highest cutoff percentage recorded in our College's recent past. St. Anne's College currently holds the highest cutoff mark among Provincial Schools island-wide for Grade 06 admissions based on the scholarship examination. This recent achievement reaffirms and justifies our standing.

The exam itself took place after a challenging academic period. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, coupled with the prevailing unrest in the country at the time, led to intermittent closures of educational institutions. This prompted a shift to remote learning, significantly affecting the proficiency levels of students, particularly those in primary education. It's important not to overlook this context when evaluating the results.

Acknowledgment goes to Reverend Father Principal Chandana Hapuarachchi, Deputy Principal of the Primary Section Mr. Meril Jayawardena, and our dedicated teachers. Their commitment and prompt actions to guide our students post-lockdown played a pivotal role. Appreciation extends to the supportive parents who collaborated in these efforts and our students for their perseverance through these trying times. Students showing such responsibility towards their education and lives at such a young age, is truly commendable.

The latest result reflects collaborative commitment. We aim to build on this and further enhance performances in the upcoming year.

Success is not an overnight achievement; it's the result of persistent effort and constant determination. Here we are looking at an overview of the journey of Tharaka Udayanga, who claimed the 1st rank in our district (and secured the 7th place in the island) in Physical Science stream of the GCE Advanced Level Examination 2022. Along this path to his outstanding accomplishment, he accumulated numerous significant achievements.

Tharaka was admitted to St. Anne's College in the second grade in 2009. From then on, he actively participated in both extracurricular and curricular activities. In the fourth grade, he represented Sri Lanka at the 2011 Asian Chess Championship in India. As a little child, he successfully completed his primary education, scoring 181 on the Grade 5 Scholarship Examination. His high score qualified him to participate in the 2013 Sri Lankan Junior Science Olympiad (SLJSO), where he received awards for his performances.

In the sixth grade, Tharaka once again represented Sri Lanka at the 2014 Asian Chess Championship, held in Taiwan. Following this, he ventured into mathematics and science competitions, participating nationally and internationally. In 2015, he claimed a bronze medal at the 12th International Mathematics and Science Olympiad (IMSO) in Thailand. In 2017, he received national recognition at the Sri Lankan Junior Science Olympiad (SLJSO) and subsequently won another bronze medal at the International Junior Science Olympiad (IJSO) in Botswana in 2018. Tharaka's journey continued in 2019 when he took part in the South African International Mathematics Competition (SAIMC) and secured yet another bronze medal.

Tharaka continued to be involved in both extracurricular and curricular activities in College. He became a prefect in the ninth grade. In the same year, he joined the Senior Western Cadet Band and rose to the rank of Lance Corporal. He remained in the cadet band until he completed his GCE O Levels. In the Ordinary Level Examination, he earned nine distinctions in English medium. During his Advanced Level years, he joined the Astronomical Society of St. Anne's College and became its President.

Earlier this month, the results of the 2022 Advanced Level Examination were released, and Tharaka was ranked 1st in the district and 7th in the island in Physical Science stream. This is a fitting end to his College journey, which was filled with major achievements and milestones. As he embarks on his higher education, we at St. Anne's College extend our heartfelt wishes to Tharaka for his future endeavors and for the pursuit of all his dreams.
