English Day of Christ Church College, Matale

Students representing all the communities waiting to welcome the
guests. |
It was July 12, 2007, the dawn of a significant day for the
principal, staff and students of Christ Church College, Matale, which is
one of the oldest schools in Matale, established in 1864. It went down
in history, as the first scouts troop was established here in 1912.
The venue for the much awaited event, the English Day was the Town
Hall. The students with their skilful performances added glamour to the
event, a result of the collective effort of all the members of the
English Unit under the able guidance of the Principal T. W. Mediwake.
