ATTENTION – VERY IMPORTANT | අවධානය පිණිසයි – ඉතා වැදගත්
Having established in 1922 and being the legally constituted body, Sri Sumangala College Old Boys’ Association (SSCOBA), would like to inform the membership that in the most recent past an organisation with a similar name to our SSCOBA has been established by a small group of our OBA members.
In the recent SSCOBA Executive committee meeting held on 19/01/2020, we have brought this matter to the notice of the previous Principal and he confirmed that the members of this NEW association with the name “Old Sumangalians’ Union” have approached him to get the official recognition to this newly formed “Union” and in reply, he has confirmed / assured to our SSCOBA Executive Committee that our SSCOBA will only be recognized as the official Old Boys’ Association of our College along with other Associations which are currently work in hand in hand with our SSCOBA. Therefore we wish to inform our membership, that we are NOT in any way responsible for any activities or fundraising projects carried out by this group of members of this newly formed Union or others who are working with this group and its validity in the consideration of the year one student enrollment etc.
Also some of our members have contacted and informed us that they have been approached & misled by the members of this Union. Therefore we kindly request our SSCOBA members NOT to be misled by this newly formed Union as a part of our SSCOBA which was founded in 1922.
1922දී නීත්‍යානුකූලව ආරම්භ කළ අප ආදී ශිෂ්‍ය සංගමයේ නාමයට සමාන නමකින් යුත්, ඉතා කුඩා ආදී සිසුන් පිරිසක් විසින් ආරම්භ කර ඇති සංගමයක් පිළිබඳව අප සාමාජිකයන්, අනෙකුත් ආදී ශිෂ්‍යයන් හා සුභ පතන්නන් දැනුවත් කිරීම මෙහි අරමුණයි.
19/01/2020 දින පැවති අප සංගමයේ මාසික විධායක සභා රැස්වීමේදී මේ සම්බන්ධව හිටපු විදුහල්පතිතුමාගේ අවධානය යොමු කළ අතර එහිදී එතුමා සඳහන් කළේ මෙම ආදී සිසුන් පිරිස “Old Sumangalians’ Union” ලෙස තමා හමුවී එම සංගමය නීත්‍යානුකූල බවට පිළිගන්නා ලෙස ඉල්ලූ බවත්, නමුත් තමා ඔවුන් හට තහවුරු කර සිටියේ ආදී ශිෂ්‍ය සංගමය (Old Boys’ Association – SSCOBA) හා එහි අනුබද්ධ, ඒ හා අත්වැල් බැඳගෙන වැඩ කටයුතු කරන සංගම් හා සමූහ පමණක් නීත්‍යානුකූල බවත්ය.
එම නිසා එම ආදී ශිෂ්‍යයන් කිහිප දෙනා ගන්නා ක්‍රියා මාර්ග හා මුදල් උත්පාදන කටයුතු පිළිබඳව අප සංගමය වගකියනු නොලබන අතර විශේෂයෙන් එම නීත්‍යානුකූල නොවන සංගමය ලබන වසරේ පළමු වසර සඳහා සිසුන් ඇතුලත් කිරීම පිළිබඳව කරණු ලබන ක්‍රියාකාරකම් පිළිබඳව පාසල පිළිගත් ආදී ශිෂ්‍ය සංගමය වශයෙන් අප සංගමය වගකියනු නොලැබේ.
එසේම එම නීත්‍යානුකූල නොවන සංගමයේ සිටින ආදී සිසුන් කිහිප දෙනා අප ආදී ශිෂ්‍ය සංගමයේ සාමාජිකයන් සහ අනෙකුත් ආදී සිසුන් නොමඟ යවමින් අසත්‍ය ප්‍රචාරයන් සිදු කරන බවට අප සාමාජිකයන් හා අනෙකුත් ආදී සිසුන් අපව දැනුවත් කර ඇති අතර ඒ සම්බන්ධයෙන් අවධානයෙන් සිටින ලෙසද අප සංගමයේ සාමාජිකයන්ගෙන්, අනෙකුත් ආදී ශිෂ්‍යයන්ගෙන් හා සුභ පතන්නන්ගෙන් ශ්‍රී සුමංගල විද්‍යාලයීය ආදී ශිෂ්‍ය සංගමය වශයෙන් අප ඉල්ලා සිටිමු.

Sri Sumangala College, Panadura celebrates 111 years
Sri Sumangala College, Panadura, celebrates its 111 year today.
The school was founded on the March 3, 1909 at the Rankoth Viharaya premises Panadura, by its chief incumbent Ven. Panadura Gnanavimalatissa Thero and Mudliyar Thomas Rodrigo, P. C. H. Dias, Matthes Salgado, P. Domingo Dias, Kornelis Perera and P. Lewis Dias, followed by Arthur Dias, N. Q. Dias, Susantha De Fonseka, Sir Leo Fernando and many other philanthropists of Panadura.
The plot of land for the buildings of this budding institution was donated by the famous philanthropist Arthur V. Dias, between his residence and the Rankoth Vihara under the sal tree.
The school was named after the Buddhist Scholar Weligama Sri Sumangala Thero.
This educational institution which was started with 77 students had 325 students when it became a government-assisted school on May 11, 1911, and was managed by a Board of Management consisting of a manager. In 1961 it was vested in the state.
A pioneer in Buddhist Education, P. De S. Kularathne was its manager in 1943. It was a golden era of the college as there were many positive developments took place during his time.
Sri Sumangala College nurtured and molded thousands of excellent citizens such as Sir Ukwatte Jayasundare, Dr. Linton Salgado, Prof. P. E. E. Fernando, H. Jinadasa Samarakkody, Prof. Raja de Fonseka, Prof. Ranjith Ruberu, Dr. Walter Fernando, Dr. Neville Fernando, Prof. P. A. De Silva, Dr. Jayantha Ruberu, Dr. L. L. Gunarathne, Prof. Nimal Chandrasena, Sir Leo Fernando, D. W. J. Perera, Merryl Kariyawasam, P. W. M. Wijesooriya, D. G. Athukorala, Dr. Malinga Fernando, Alec Robertson, Linton Wijenayaka, W. D. Amaradeva, Premasiri Khemadasa, Prof. Lalithasiri Gunaruwan, Don Arunasiri, and Dilruwan Perera to mention a few.
On August 7, 1942, all the students of the college between the 7th standard up to the H.S.C. were shifted to the buildings constructed at Nalluruwa to a land to the extent of two acres donated by Walter Salgado, one of the two brothers who were enrolled first, as students of the college. It is very important to point out that it was on March 24, 1940, that the foundation stone was laid for these buildings.
The adjoining land of about 2 1/2 acres which was donated by M. D. Fernando has been turned into the playground of the college. The audience hall of the college was made constructed and donated by Sir Leo Fernando, while P. C. M. Dias contributed largely to the construction of the laboratory. The public of the area, especially of Panadura contributed towards the construction of the buildings.
The students of Sri Sumangala Girl’s School used the laboratory of the college for their highest studies in H.S.C. classes at the initial stage.
The primary classes from Kindergarten up to six standard which had been retained at the town branch adjoining Rankoth Viharaya was headed by A. C. Morawaka, a tough disciplinarian. This branch was also shifted to Nalluruwa premises, making it one institution in 1995.
On May 25, 1993, the college was graded as a National School.
The first two to enroll as students were two brothers Walter and Richard Salgado, the sons of Matthes Salgado, one of the six founders of the college. The children of the other founders also followed suit.
The first Principal of the College was Thomas E. Gunaratne, who held the post till 1912.
The late W. S. M. Wijenayaka (Village Headman of Pohaddaramulla, Wadduwa) was also a student with Walter and Richard Salgado, U. A. Jayasundare and Sir Leo Fernando, when Thomas E. Gunaratne was the Principal succeeded by W. Charles de Silva. His sons, myself, Walter, Sylvester, Llevellyn and Linton Wijenayaka were also students when A. C. Morawaka was the Head Master and A. J. Fernando who was the Principal, succeeded by K. L. V. Alagiyawanna.
One-third of the college buildings were washed out on December 26, 2004, by the Tsunami. As a result, the college was shifted to the Army camp at Wekada and the camp at Wekada was shifted to the space where the college buildings were.
The college is a National Institution – a part of our national heritage and it has a powerful Old Boys’ Association wish was established in 1922.
Some of the devoted eminent past teachers were Thomas E. Gunaratne, R. S. S. Gunawardane, P. De S. Kularatne, M. W. Karunananda, A. J. Fernando and K. L. V. Alagiyawanne. The present Principal of the school is Lt. Colonel L.G.P.B Liyangaskumbura.
