Powering the Automobile Association of Royal College
In early 2025, ORAUK was approached by a dedicated group of students and motor enthusiasts with a proposal to repair and refurbish a 15-seater minivan at Royal College. Recognizing the value of the initiative, the Committee approved financial support for the project. The refurbishment was commendably managed by the students, and the vehicle has now been successfully reintegrated into the Royal College fleet.

Propping up Royal Rugby
Royal Rugby has consistently benefited from the support of ORAUK, with the teams continually meeting and exceeding expectations. Since 2010, Royal College has secured the league championship title six times. Notably, the Bradby Shield was retained for ten consecutive years from 2015 to 2024. Although the team experienced a setback in 2024, losing the Shield, they made a remarkable comeback in 2025—defeating league champions Trinity College and reclaiming the title against all odds.

ORAUK adds a punch to Royal Boxing.
It is heartening to see the Royal boxers winning the 100th Stubbs shield few years ago. This is the 19th time Royal has won the shield, which no other schools in the country has achieved in Stubbs Shield boxing. For the past two years in 2024 and 2025, Royal has been the runner-up in the Stubbs Shield competition, and they are aiming to win it next year.

Refurbishment of Chemistry Labs
Refurbishment of Chemistry Laboratories Over the past two years, ORAUK has contributed GBP 6,750 toward the refurbishment of two Chemistry laboratories at Royal College, as part of a total budget of approximately GBP 20,000. These labs had remained unchanged for over 25 years and posed significant safety risks. One laboratory was fully upgraded with state-of-the-art facilities, making it the first of its kind among Sri Lankan schools. The second laboratory underwent essential improvements, including repairs to teak tables, installation of new safety features, updated flooring, and fresh paint—ensuring a safer and more modern learning environment for students.
