The 12th Commemoration Ceremony of the founder of our alma mater: D.S. Senanayake College is scheduled to come to light on the 27th of November 2025 at the college premises with our pound alumni Senanayakian Aravinda de Silva ayya, a former member of the National Cricket Team of Sri Lanka gracing the occasion.
Seeing the worldly light on 3rd October 1932 in Galle, Sir Ralph Ignatius Thomas Alles pursued his school education in St. Aloysius College in Galle and St. Anthony's College in Matara. Having started his career as a school teacher, he rendered his service in Royal College, Colombo for many years. Following the invitation of the education minister Hon. I.M.R.A. Iriyagolla and the principal of Royal College back then, he assumed his duties as the principal of the newly established D.S. Senanayake Junior School. Continuing his tremendous service, words cannot explain the efforts he made to enshrine D.S. Senanayake College, Colombo 7 in the education field in the country. Without stopping there, he continued serve the education system in Sri Lanka by establishing Gateway College.
That great gentleman whose name is forever remembered in the education genealogy in Sri Lanka passed away on 28th November 2013, leaving his legacy for generations to be proud of and honour.
