Unveiling of OBU Crest and Photographs of former Secretaries 🏫📸

As the OBU commences its 47th year in existence, the Executive Committee felt that it was time to document and preserve the legacy of the OBU.

The first step in this process was to unveil its own Crest, based on but different to the Prep School Crest, and the photographs of all the Secretaries who had served the Union in the J. S. L. Fernando Memorial Room in The Fortrose, which is used for the administrative activities of the OBU.

This was done at a simple ceremony immediately after the 44th Annual General Meeting of the OBU at and former Secretaries of the OBU Chrishmal Warnasuriya, Kishan De Silva, Imran Hassan and Raj Rasiah took part in the ceremony.

We call on all Members of the OBU to share any records they may have, be it minutes of meetings, photographs, souvenirs or tickets to an OBU event with the OBU to create an archive of the work of the Union.

🎪 Prep Carnival 2025 – What a Night! 🎉

The Prep Carnival held on the 17th May to coincide with the 87th Founder's Day was an evening to remember! With games, rides, music, food, and laughter filling the air, the school grounds came alive with the true spirit of the Prep School Community.

From the thrilling zip line and spooky horror house to the vibrant stalls and stage performances, there was something for everyone – young and 'not so young'. It was heartwarming to see students, parents, alumni, teachers, and friends of Prep School come together in support of the School.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make the event a success and every single one of you who attended.
