In 1904 old Patricians of that time came together and institutionalized the community of old Patricians under the name and style of ‘Old Boys Association of St.Patrick’s College Jaffna’, in order to foster the unique relationship among them. The first St Patrick’s College OBA was formed on the 29th of April 1904 in Jaffna. Colombo followed in 1912 and since then Patricians have formed OBAs around the world – in the UK, Canada, Norway, Australia, France and Germany.

Over the years, the alumni of St Patrick’s College Jaffna from around the world have come together regularly to attend College functions, support fundraising efforts, and strengthen their sense of camaraderie and fellowship. The next such reunion is to be held in Australia in September 2027.

St. Patrick’s College Jaffna stands as an epitome of excellence and a symbol of educational distinction in Sri Lanka since 1850. For generations, Patricians and their families have spoken with profound reverence of this institution, recognizing its immeasurable contributions to education, sports and other extracurricular activities. From its humble beginnings to its esteemed status among the country’s foremost academic establishments, St. Patrick’s College has not only shaped the educational landscape of the Northern Province but has also played a pivotal role in sculpting the cultural, social and intellectual fabric of Sri Lanka. It has nurtured countless individuals who have gone on to become influential leaders, scholars, and change-makers, leaving an indelible mark on the nation’s history.
