For any student, achieving milestones during their College years is a dream come true. Geethika De Silva, in just five short months, has made not one but four significant milestones—a year for him to remember.
In June of this year, he was selected to partake in the Under 19 Sri Lankan Youth League. Just two months later, in August, he joined the Under 17 contest of the same league, alongside two of his College mates. Around the same time, Geethika was called to participate in a practice match against the Under 19 West Indies Cricket Team. His performances across these three tournaments left no doubt that his place should be with the main national squad.
Tomorrow, he makes his International Cricket debut as a member of our Sri Lanka Under 19 National Cricket Team. They face off with Pakistan Under 19 National Team in a tour spanning until the end of this month in Karachi.
As Geethika continues to set his milestones, the St. Anne's College family extends our heartfelt best wishes for a successful and victorious tour. We hope Geethika will make our country proud just as he has made our College proud.

Dr. Jupiter Moonemalle is someone who needs no introduction within the St. Anne's College family. His dedication to our cherished alma mater spanned his entire lifetime, marked by active and enthusiastic involvement. As a former President of the Old Boys' Association, he embodied the true Annite spirit.
Dr. Moonemalle was a distinguished alumnus and the second Medical Doctor to emerge from our College. His contributions to the field of medicine were marked by honor and commitments to improving the lives of others. His contributions to the wider community didn't stop there as he tirelessly used his gifted intellect to address various social issues through enlightening awareness programs.
Among his many exceptional qualities and achievements, Dr. Moonemalle's humility and down-to-earth nature despite his elevated status truly set him apart. His life was firmly grounded in his faith, and his way of living and conduct earned praise even from spiritual figures of different faiths.
Yesterday, Dr. Moonemalle was called to his heavenly abode. In diverse faiths, we say, may his soul Rest in Peace in heaven; may he attain the Supreme Blessing of Nibbana. While our Annite family mourns his loss deeply, his memory will forever remain in our hearts and minds, an inspiration for generations to come.
