Promotion of Sports

St. Xavier’s College has been promoting holistic education since the inception personality development, soft skills, language skills apart from providing education qualifications is the practice of this great institution. Football, Basketball, Hockey, Cricket, table tennis, badminton, athletics, golf, body building, long distance running, cycling have been the main sports that promoted physically healthy students over the years. Unfortunately, educational and extracurricular activities have been on a decline for the last 2 decades.  With the appointment of the new principal in 2023, the OBA has launched many development projects including sports.

Re-introduction of cricket, basketball and volleyball have commenced. The senior relay team winning the invitation relay about a week ago at the Gamini sports meet was a positive start. With the intention of promoting sports the OBA provided sports equipment for football, basketball, volleyball and cricket in March 2024 worth over Rs 60,000. We request Old Xaverians and well wishers to come forward to promote sports.
