But I dream things that never were; and I say, 'Why not?'” - George Bernard Shaw For the past 137 years Wesleyites have lamented on not having their own swimming pool on campus to call their own. It has been an item on the wish list of most students as they watched with envy the students of the other major Colleges in Colombo that have had this privilege. The dream of having a swimming pool gathered momentum in recent years with a number of Old Boys who met regularly at the OWSC. The concerns were where it would be located and how much would it cost? Both intimidating factors for a school and alumni community not having the spare capital to invest in such a project. However the dream did not fade away and as more ideas were tossed around and the revival of Wesley under Dr McLelland’s stewardship gathered momentum, the first planning steps emerged and serious collaboration between the OBU, OWSC and the alumni community began. As George Bernard Shaw’s famous quote expresses so vividly, the alumni picked up the courage and agreed to give it their best shot. The following pictures show the progress that has been made. The site that has been picked is next to the Principal’s bungalow on the left hand side when you face the front of the bungalow and is immediately behind the sick rooms near the back gate.

Founded in 1979, the SLPA has grown to be a leader in the world of shipping and commerce, a respected organisation where governance, environmental responsibility and our commitment to the future of Sri Lanka and its people have guided our voyage of success. While our goal to create value for all our stakeholders remains a priority, we also pride ourselves on our commitment to national development, investing into local communities in a bid to enhance livelihoods and bring life’s opportunities to people, island-wide. We plan to continue our mission of value into the years ahead as we forge ahead, powering shipping, trade and industry, energizing people’s lives and accelerating positive change. The Port of Colombo has been administered since 1913 by the Colombo Port Commission, which is responsible for the supply and maintenance of cargo-handling equipment and other infrastructure, pilotage services, docking and shipping. The Sri Lanka Ports Authority was constituted under the provisions of the Sri Lanka Ports Authority Act, No. 15 of 1979 (subsequently amended by Act No. 7 of 1984 and Act No. 35 of 1984) on the 1st of August 1979, effecting the merger of the Colombo Port Commission Department and the two existing statutory Corporations.
