Branches
The St Peters College Old Boys Association of New South Wales held its inaugural meeting on the 24th of February, 1991, when 16 Old Peterites joined together to form the Association.
Since then the Association has grown in strength and now has a membership of over 200 Old Peterites.
Being a Social Club, the main objective of the Association is to organise events in New South Wales where Old Peterites can meet and partake in Fellowship.
Over the years the Association has broadened its Objective to include Philanthropic activities: the main such activity is the Scholarship Fund that was established in 2008 to assist needy, deserving Peterites by paying their annual school fees.
The Association regularly participates in Sporting Activities such as rugby and cricket within the SriLankan community in NSW.
A warm welcome from the Peterite Alumni Association of Ontario Connecting our Peterite past to our Canadian future.
The Peterite Alumni Association, Ontario, is a non-profit organization that is dedicated to bringing together the alumni of St. Peter’s College together with their families, for fellowship, sporting events, social activities and continued good work within our local communities. Incorporated in 2014, the association continues to foster the same integrity and values that began in 1922 in Colombo.
We started the union unofficially way back in 2005 and was taking part in inter-school activities and helping college fundraising activities. Then we decided we should become official so the official start date is 20 August 2020.
