Geethika is having the time of his journey
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.

Looking back at Pruthivi's success
"Behind every successful man is his hard work and good mentors."
Pruthivi Sri Vitharana, the star of the moment stands center stage with glory. Nothing can be taken away from this young Annite, all of his hard work and sacrifice finally paid off. You deserve this moment, Pruthivi and we are so proud of you!
To his right, the Rev. Fr. Principal Chandana Hapuarachchi stands tall and has guided our boys all the way to success as has been repeated in recent years. To the left is the Teacher in-Charge, Ms. Theja Rathnayake Hangilipola, who took over just 2 years ago and walked the whole mileage with our players, motivating and fixing impediments. The gentleman on the far right is Pruthivi's coach, Mr. Padhma Sri Manjula, the one who taught all the karate moves from zero to final glory.
So there you have it, the perfect recipe for the 2022 South Asian ?Karate Championship's triumph. Shall we all take a moment and give a round of applause for this successful team effort.
Thus we conclude one milestone in the Annites sports chapter. Hopefully, there will be more to come. -
