Royal College Group of 82 - Australian Chapter
We, the old boys of the Royal College Colombo, 82 Group, after leaving our great school went on our own directions. Members of our group migrated to all parts of the world. Some settled in Sri Lanka and the others settled in different parts of the world. We, who migrated to Australia, settled down in different States depending on their preferences. However, though we are far apart geographically within the country, we try to meet whenever possible to maintain our childhood relationships and links.
