Wesley College Class of 2000 launches “Reunion of the Millennium” to power major Campbell Park sight-screen upgrade

The Wesley College Colombo Class of 2000 today announced plans for the Reunion of the Millennium, a landmark gathering to be held on 4 December 2025 at The Kingsbury, Colombo.

While celebrating 25 years since leaving their alma mater, the Millennium Batch is rallying fellow Wesleyites around a significant cause: funding the refurbishment and upgrading of the Campbell Park sight-screen complex, a key project of the Wesley College Welfare Society.

A special highlight of the event will be the felicitation of over 40 past teachers who played an integral role in shaping the lives, character and values of the Class of 2000. The reunion will serve both as a heartfelt tribute to these educators and a practical step towards strengthening the college’s sporting infrastructure.

Investing in Future Wesleyite Champions
