Sports

In another first by Trinity College, they have introduced Sports Science / physical education as a subject to the school curriculum a brainchild of Brig. Japana Jayawardene, former Trinity ‘Lion’. He presented a paper on the above on July 11, ’03. The Board of Governors of Trinity approved it in 2004. It has become a reality after a long wait. Sports Science/Physical education is gaining professional recognition locally and internationally. It is time that Sri Lanka too looks into the future development of sports as a profession. Few years back computer, Hotel Trade, Garment Trade, was not recognized professionally. Within a few years it has passed beyond expectation.

This discipline has been accepted by the Trinity College hierarchy in their curriculum on the same basis of teaching science, engineering, agriculture, bio science computer etc.

It was launched on July 4, at Trinity by the principal of Trinity Rod Gilbert.
