OBA - Colombo Branch

Among the bigger projects initiated and completed by the Colombo Branch, "The Bishop Leo Nanayakkara Pavilion and Sports Complex" is of major importance. It took over 13 years for the completion with Rs. 13 M as the total expenditure. Colombo Branch also has involved in many fund raising events for current and future projects, one of them being the "SACKOBA Ball", staged annually in Colombo.

The Antonian walk to demarcate the 70th year in Katugastota - WALK ANTONIAN '98 too was supported by the Colombo Branch. Colombo Branch has also extended its support to the College with funding for students, sports equipment etc. Colombo Branch also takes pride in being the first to produce a Directory of Old Boys in an elaborate format, amongst schools in Sri Lanka. The directory known as the "ANTONIAN CONENCTION" was published in 1994 and information for self updating has been circulated via Newsletters. The 'Quadrangular Cricket Tournament' amongst the Old Bens, Old Joes, Old Petrites and Old Antonians has been hosted b the Colombo Branch.
