'walk' to collect funds for De Mazenodian Swimming Pool

SWIMMING POOL: De Mazenod College, Kandana is to have a swimming pool conforming to international standards. It will be a eight-lane pool with diving boards etc. and it should be a big boon to the students of De Mazenod as well as the swimming enthusiasts of the nearby areas.

The Old Boys Association of De Mazenod College, Kandana with the patronage of Rev. Bro. Bertram Perera, the Principal of the College, organised the Mazenodian Walk 2009 and Carnival as a fund-raising project for the upcoming swimming pool. The pool is estimated to cost Rs. 40 million and the foundation stone for the pool was laid by an outstanding old boy of the school - Deshamanya Harry Jayawardene - the Chairman of Stassen Group of Companies.The Mazenodian Walk 2009 from Welisara Nawaloka ground was held last week and there was a full turn out of schoolboys and old boys. The big turn out at the "Walk" must have given Rev. Bro Bertram Perera some comforting moments and he can have the comforting thought that if the Old Boys' Association of the School takes something to their hands it will be well done.
