I entered Isipathana college in 1997 , to grade 6, i still remember how he used to come to our classes, sit on our chairs and looked at our books individually and shouted at us. He was the giant who changed my school forever. When he left us in 2003 we were devastated. we struggled to keep him with us.. I did my AL in 2006 at Isipathana and today I'm just a month away to become a surgeon. Many of my friends are in the best positions of the country or in the world...He is the man who made a rough set of barbarians to shape in to a tough but genuine generation of gentlemen.
During his tenure as the principal, Royal College was recognized as one of the most innovative educational institutions worldwide at the fifth annual Worldwide Innovative Education Forum (IEF), organized by Microsoft Corporation in 2009. He demonstrated exceptional leadership qualities during his time.
