Questions

Frequently asked

Who can join?

Any former student of St. Mary’s College or Kegalu Vidyalaya, Kegalle, anywhere in the world.

What does membership cost?

Members overseas pay USD 100; members resident in Sri Lanka pay LKR 30,000 (Art. 5.4). Payment is by bank deposit to the association’s account in Sri Lanka — there is no online card payment, and deposits are verified manually by the committee.

Can members in Sri Lanka pay and vote?

Members resident in Sri Lanka join as Associate Members, take part fully, and may pay the annual fee in rupees to support the association. Under the Constitution, Financial Membership and voting are reserved for members resident outside Sri Lanka (Art. 5.2), so a paid member in Sri Lanka is warmly recognised but does not hold voting rights.

What happens if I don’t renew?

If you do not renew within 60 days of the start of a new Membership Year, your Financial status lapses and you revert to Associate until a new payment is confirmed (Art. 5.6).

When can I vote or stand for office?

Financial Members may vote. To stand for office you must have held Financial status continuously for at least two years before nominations open (Art. 7.4).
