Second Term at St. John's Was Packed with Many Events. There Was an Exhibition Spanning Two Days Second Term at St. John's was packed with many events. There was an exhibition spanning two days. The highlight of the exhibition was the Philately Exhibition which drew numerous positive comments from various segments of the community. On the 4th of May, our College celebrated its 190th anniversary. Though St. John's was 'born' 190 years ago in 1823, she was 'conceived' five years earlier in 1818 as the following historical account clearly records: ''In 1817 the Anglican Church Mission Society (CMS) approved the establishment of missions in Ceylon. On 20th December 1817 four clergymen - Joseph Knight, Samuel Lambrick, Robert Major and Benjamin Ward - and their wives left England and sailed to Ceylon on board the Vittoria. They arrived in late June 1818. Knight went to Jaffna, Lambrick went to Colombo, Major and his wife went to Galle and Ward and his wife to Trincomalee. Knight started his missionary work in 1818 in Nallur. He held service in his bungalow and opened up 8 schools in different parts of the Jaffna District. Unfortunately there was an outbreak of cholera. Many people including the students of the eight schools were greatly affected. Following this, Rev. Joseph Knight selected seven students from the eight different schools and established the Nallur English Seminary in March 1823. The school was initially located in Knight's bungalow.'' ''In 1845 The English Seminary was transferred to Chundikuli and was renamed ''The Chundikuli English Seminary.'' The Old Portuguese Church of St. John the Baptist at Chundikuli was handed over to the C.M.S and services were held in the Church by Rev.Johnstone and the students of the Seminary attended these services. In 1846 Johnstone went to U.K on furlough due to ill health and Rev.Robert Pargiter who was appointed Principal shifted the school to a large hall adjoining the east end of the old church. In 1891 The school celebrated the Jubilee of its work at Chundikuli and to mark the occasion was given the name 'St. John's College.' '' From the above record, it is apparent that the seed was sown 195 years ago!! St. John's has a long - a very long history of delivering excellent all round education to countless generations of young people. Unlocking an individual’s potential means fostering a culture that encourages successful learning and creative thinking while rewarding initiative and independence. It also means creating an environment in which pursuing personal passions outside lesson time complements the achievement of academic success. Learning is fun and from the earliest years takes place both in the classroom and elsewhere around the school. The College's ultimate aim is to give its pupils the support and freedom they need to flourish into balanced, fully-rounded and confident adults who are inspired for life. With this in mind, the following extra-curricular activities were held during the second term. Library Day Environmental Day Science Day Boarders' Day Workshop on Constellation Studies Scout - 97th Anniversary Indoor Games Award Ceremony Prize Giving English Day Science and Young Inventors' Exhibition St. John’s College Jaffna Lower Primary School (Grades 1–3) 190th Anniversary Exhibition – 2nd & 3rd May At the exhibition - a presentation by the Grade 2 Students during a group activity inside the classroom students about “Our Country.” All the students eagerly participated in the exhibition, and they were awarded Scouts’ Annual Camp certificates and gifts from the principal.

Socio-religious desegregation in an immediate postwar town Jaffna, Sri Lanka Delon MADAVAN PhD candidate and Junior Lecturer in Geography Université Paris-IV Sorbonne Laboratoire Espaces, Nature et Culture (UMR 8185) [email protected] Abstract The cease-fire agreement of 2002 between the Sri Lankan state and the separatist movement of Liberalisation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), was an opportunity to analyze the role of war and then of the cessation of fighting as a potential process of transformation of the segregation at Jaffna in the context of immediate post-war period. Indeed, the armed conflict (1987-2001), with the abolition of the caste system by the LTTE and repeated displacements of people, has been a breakdown for Jaffnese society. The weight of the hierarchical castes system and the one of religious communities, which partially determine the town's prewar population distribution, the choice of spouse, social networks of individuals, values and taboos of society, have been questioned as a result of the conflict.
