Aims of the College
The aim of our founder was to provide a free
atmosphere for the growing child to enable him to develop in every
manner of his life. He wanted to establish a school remote from
great towns in a salubrious climate, but at the same time not second
to any other school in the Island. He realized the importance of
a hostel accommodation in order to admit children from different
parts of the Island so that they could learn to move and live together
as of mother Lanka.
We aim to be inclusive and provide education of the highest quality
within the context of Christian belief and practice. We consider
every stage of a child's life from grade I onwards as of equal importance.
It is our endeavor to develop the latent talents and abilities
by providing a very broad curriculum in the classroom and a variety
of extra-curricular activities after school hours.
We place great emphasis in the training of character and at the
same time realize that the school should be a happy contented community.
We try to create a homely and friendly atmosphere where teachers
are looked up to as helpers, advisers and guardians, in other words
a SECOND HOME away from home. The highest standards
are expected from pupils with regard to intellectual achievements,
physical activities, and character qualities.
The teachers are expected to be dedicated to the sacred task of
mounding the life and character of pupils. They try to achieve this
by example and precept, and by rendering the highest services and
making sacrifices in all their undertakings.
We want the highest co-operation of parents at every stage of a
child at school and if this is not forthcoming, such parents may
even be asked to remove their children from school as we could do
very little without parental interests.
It is our aim to develop a truly national school in which
children of all types and races could develop their personality
in relation to a heterogeneous group. This would enable them to
take their rightful places in the life of the country, without complexes
but with sympathy and understanding, as citizens of a united nation.
