Mrs. Thivyasironmany Nagarajah

1986 - 1993

B.Sc. (Madras)

Mrs. Nagarajah was appointed Principal after serving as a teacher at the college from 1977 to 1986. During her leadership from 1986 to 1993, the student population exceeded 2,000. The college extended its support to displaced students from Pungudutivu by providing them with accommodation. Two bicycle sheds were constructed, and a beautiful flower garden was developed on the campus. She established a Prize Day Committee, which set September 10th as the official date for the event. The first Prize Day was held on September 10, 1991. Despite the challenging period of conflict, teachers, students, and parents actively supported the college's initiatives. The Golden Jubilee of the college was celebrated on a grand scale, featuring a four-day exhibition and two days of cultural performances by students and alumnae. Mrs. Nagarajah also laid the foundation stone for a Golden Jubilee Block. The wide publicity surrounding the celebrations inspired former students in Colombo and Canada to establish Old Girls' Associations in their regions.
