Wesley College 🧢⚡️ vs. Toronto Police 👮‍♂️ 🚔👮🚨🏏

Celebrating Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 day with great comradary and sportspinship together with incumbent Consulate General of Sri Lanka Mrs. Medhavi Peiris, her team, Toronto Police and of course WESELY COLLEGE!

The 1st win of day was recorded by The Consulate General of Sri Lanka beating Toronto Police Canada.

However, the Toronto Police Canada team struck back comfortably beating WESLEY COLLEGE at a game of village-style cricket filled with good banter and lots of laughter!

Here is the beginning of my cricketing career along with many other endeavours!

Every school has a story. Ours stretches across generations.

From the people who shaped Wesley, to the places we once called home, the traditions we still carry and the stories that have almost been forgotten — there’s a lot more to our history than what we see today.

Past and Present Kindly Meet takes us back to where it all began, uncovering the stories that shaped Wesley and the people who made it what it is today.
So, how well do you really know Wesley?

Let’s get to know where we came from, and what we carry forward.

Ora Et Labora

Another charismatic Wesleyite has earned his wings with our national carrier — Rahul De Silva. 🇱🇰

A sportsman, academic and leader, Rahul is a thoroughbred Wesleyite, former rugby captain and Deputy Head Prefect. He led Wesley to its only rugby championship in 70 years. After school, he represented CR & FC and Havelock Sports Club, was Vice-Captain of the Sri Lanka Schools team, and went on to represent Sri Lanka.

A Finance & Accountancy graduate from Swinburne University, Australia, Rahul now takes to the skies.

A very proud moment for all Wesleyites. Wishing him every success.
