on 17th July 2022, St. Matthew’s College, Colombo’s oldest and 1st English medium school, Celebrated 175 Years of Excellence in Education. However, due to the on going fuel shortage and transport issues faced by the whole Island, we could not celebrate this occasion in a grand way. Hoping the situation in the country resolves soon, so we can do a small event to mark the occasion. We remember this day in our hearts and wish all the best to our the principal, students, teachers and parents.
