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 />

Reconstruction Cost<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 />
