“I’ll meet you under the Tamarind tree” was a term used by the Royalists during the 1950s’ to challenge each other to fight, at this location. Many hundreds of others who have frequented these playgrounds over the years to play cricket, athletics, baseball, and football, remember this as their ‘pavilion’. This unique location continues to provide shade and a meeting place for Royalists of all ages.
May these two special creations of mother nature, continue to stand as landmarks of our alma mater, providing shade, shelter, and precious memories of schooldays, to many more generations of Royalists. The Group of ‘98 treated two tamarind trees for fungal diseases according to the instructions of the scientists of the Peradeniya Botanical Garden. The project was funded by the Group of ‘98 under the guidance of the School Development Society.
