Working President’s Message

It is with great pride that I extend my greetings to all students, parents, staff, alumni and well-wishers of Zahira College Matale. The Old Boys’ Association stands as a strong pillar of support to the College, committed to preserving its traditions, upholding its values and contributing to its continued progress.
For more than eight decades, Zahirians have carried the name of the College with dignity across Sri Lanka and worldwide. This success is a reflection of disciplined education, strong moral guidance and the dedication of teachers, principals and families who worked tirelessly for the betterment of our students. As Old Boys, we remain deeply connected to this legacy and continue to assist in academic, sports and infrastructure development.

The OBA operates as an independent body focused on strengthening alumni engagement, expanding networking opportunities, supporting student welfare and enhancing the international recognition of Zahira College Matale. Our official OBA website functions separately under the supervision of the OBA President and provides updates on events, projects, membership and alumni activities.

On behalf of the Old Boys’ Association, I reaffirm our commitment to serving the College community and ensuring that future generations of Zahirians have the resources, opportunities and guidance necessary to excel as responsible and productive citizens.
Warm regards and best wishes to all who share our vision for the continued upliftment of Zahira College Matale.
