Gateway College Alumni Association

✨ Alumni Spotlight | Dr Dhruhini Maneshka Eliatamby
From being Gateway College’s first Co-Head Girl to shaping global conversations in public health and development, Maneshka’s journey is one of purpose, service, and leadership.
Joining Gateway in 1996, she embraced the Spirit of Gateway — a culture rooted in excellence, community service, and dedication. As a pioneering student leader, she helped shape defining milestones in the school’s history, from the first prefects’ body to the inaugural sports meet and school song.
Today, as a Senior Associate at Iris Group (USA), she leads impactful work in water, sanitation, maternal and child health across Asia and Africa — carrying forward the very values instilled during her time at Gateway. 🌍

Alumni Voices Series | Dr Sherrica Senewiratne 🌟

Dr Sherrica Senewiratne’s story exemplifies the spirit, resilience, and leadership fostered at Gateway College, Colombo. From her early days as Head Girl and editor of the Toddler to Child magazine, to leading the Interact District Conference for over 2,000 participants, Gateway helped shape the skills and confidence that continue to guide her today as a Lecturer at Deakin University, Founder of Stellamari, and a recognised organisational psychology expert with the UNDP ExpRes roster.

“I am eternally grateful to Gateway, and to all my teachers for who I am today.”

As part of our ongoing Alumni Voices series, we are thrilled to celebrate the journeys of our alumni, as captured in the Annual Reviews published by Gateway College.

We are proud to see our alumni making meaningful contributions globally, and we look forward to sharing more inspiring journeys in this series.
