LOYOLA CAMPUS TRINCOMALEE
Loyola Campus- Trincomalee was established in July 2017 using the existing structure of the Jesuit English Academy Trincomalee. Jesuit English Academy has been offering certificate courses in English and several other subjects for a number of years. The Government Technical College, established in 1995 in the existing Academy building, laid the foundation for what was now known as the Jesuit Academy of Trincomalee and now Loyola Campus- Trincomalee. The Centre has become a part of the Jesuit Tertiary Education endeavor in Sri Lanka, Loyola Campus.
Loyola Campus- Trincomalee has already started offering preparatory courses in English and English classes for children. In September, the Centre will offer the Jesuit Worldwide Learning (JWL) affiliated Global English Programme for the benefit of the students in and around Trincomalee. There are a number of other courses such as Microsoft Office and Sinhala that will also commence from the month of September.
Trincomalee has been identified by Loyola Campus to be one of the Centers where students require professional expertise in English, Computer and several other professional courses. Loyola Campus- Trincomalee hopes to be registered under the Tertiary Vocation Education Commission (TVEC) soon and thereafter run NVQ level courses providing better opportunities for the students in and around Trincomalee. Moreover, the multi-ethnic and multi-religious environment of the locality will provide fertile ground for Loyola Campus to work for peace building and reconciliation through tertiary and higher education.
I am Aniston J Morais from Mannar, Sri Lanka. I am a Jesuit of the Sri Lankan Jesuit Province. Presently, I function as the Director of the Jesuit Pre-Novitiate, the first stage of formation for those candidates entering the Jesuit Order in Sri Lanka. From July 2017, I am appointed as the Director of Loyola Campus- Trincomalee. It is indeed a precious gift to be a guide and mentor for all the youth who will visit the Centre and help them to equip themselves, professionally.
