It is with great pleasure that we report the St. Anne's College Western Cadet Band has been crowned champion by claiming the Commander of the Air Force Challenge Trophy at the 2023 Inter School Drill and Band Competition organized by the Sri Lanka Air Force.
The final took place today (June 21) at Sri Lanka Air Force Base, Katunayake, where the Annites emerged victorious over Vidyarathna University College, Horana.
The band earned their place in the competition after being selected to represent the top 10 teams in last year's All Island Western Cadet Band Competition, held in Rantambe Cadet Training Center and was organized by National Cadet Corps (NCC).
We extend our heartfelt congratulations to our students and everyone involved in contributing to yet another remarkable achievement that adds to the Annite legacy of success.

Today, as we observe Poson Poya Day, we reflect upon a significant event that transpired two millennia ago. Arahat Mihindu, with his arrival on our homeland, bestowed upon our people a profound path of enlightenment and spiritual awakening.
Let us also recall the compassionate act of Arahat Mihindu when he arrived at Mihinthalagala and liberated the life of an innocent deer. This serves a profound reminder that our love and care should extend beyond mankind to encompass animals and the natural world that surrounds us.
Like those who sought guidance in Arahat Mihindu, let us each find the guidance we need to navigate our lives towards enlightenment. Here at St. Anne's College, where faith and spirituality hold a significant place, we extend warm wishes to everyone for a blissful Poson Poya Day.
