Puthumugathuwaram Roman<br />
Catholic Tamil Missionary school<br />
is a Primary and Secondary<br />
Grade school with classes from<br />
Grades 1-10 (O Level). The<br />
school has a total of 304 students,<br />
149 male and 155 female. It has<br />
14 teachers.<br />
This school which was formerly<br />
known as Ignatius College was<br />
one of those schools which had<br />
to be relocated owing to its close<br />
proximity to the coast.<br />
However we faced a lot of<br />
frustration in obtaining an<br />
alternate site on which to build<br />
the school and it was only in May<br />
2006 that we fi nally resolved all<br />
the issues.<br />
The original block of land<br />
allocated to us was claimed by<br />
another Government agency and<br />
we had to redo all our designs.<br />

49.50 million (LKR)<br />
The next block of land given to us too had many claimants to its<br />
ownership and when everything was fi nally cleared it was May 2006.<br />
We then went through quite a long tender process before we fi nally<br />
awarded the contract in August 2006.<br />
The Contractor has just begun mobilization of his workforce and is<br />
clearing the site.<br />
Construction work is expected to commence by mid September 2006.<br />
The new school is expected to be completed by May 2007.<br />
