To the Web Team
It gives me great pleasure in sending this message of congratulations on
the 5th Anniversary of the Hartley College Web site.
Whilst schools having websites are not uncommon these days, the best
among them would be judged by the number of visitors to the site, dynamic
updates it carries, and the global perspective both from the visitor
point of view as well as from the contents point of view. There is no
doubt in my mind that your site ranks the top position in this regard.
The comments in your guest register from people who are total strangers
to Hartley, bears testimony to what a great job you all have done. Its
strange, but true that even some of us who live in Colombo have to read
your site to get updates of whats happening in the school.
Perhaps the ideal gift we could give you, is to elevate you to a 'Mother
Site' status shortly, when we launch a web site on the Hartley College
PPA Trust. We are awaiting the Registration of the Trust to commence this
service. Perhaps at the end of next 5 years there would be many such
sector sites dwelling in specific areas,
which will further enhance| your Mother Site Status.
Congratulations and keep up the good work.
