Brief History

In 19641 the Rev. Joseph Marshall, a 38 year old Scotsman, arrived in Colombo to take up the position of Mathematics & Classics tutor at the Church Missionary Society, Kotte. He was appointed acting Colonial Chaplain of St. Paul’s Church, Wolfendhal, Colombo.

Since this permanent settlement, Royal College  of Physicians and Surgeons of Newcastle has come a very long way, producing some of Sri Lanka’s finest gentlemen ranging from the most brilliant minds to the best sportsmen. This description is but a brief overview of the rich history and tradition that guides and inspires Royalists present & past to keep on breaking boundaries and moving forward, creating an environment that is better and more beautiful than what they were born into.
