Within the TOPSA constitution is listed as a key purpose of the Association “To promote the welfare and the advancement of The Peninsula School through the activities of past students and present and former staff of the school”. The executive re avowed this principle. TOPSA has nothing to do with the PSPA and in no way endorses any campaign to damage the fine reputation of the school that we are all so proud of.

Craig was married to Menaka daughter of Hilary Abeyaratne who taught at the School for a number of years and who authored the first book outlining the early history of The Peninsula School. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Craig’s family and friends at this very sad time. PENINSULA OLD GIRLS NETBALL CLUB
