Re-opening of the college


                               With the concurrence of the education department, the restructured institution was re-opened on 3rd January 1999 at a simple ceremony presided over by the Venerable Tallale Dhammaloka Maha Nayaka Thero, Anunayaka of the Sri Saddhammawansa Chapter and a distinguished past pupil of the college. The venerable monk was also a teacher of the college. The Hon. Susil Premjayantha, Chief Minister of the western province and his worship Omar kamil, Mayor of Colombo graced the occasion, since then, the enrolments have steadily increased and to date college has 400 students on the roll. The lack of adequate classrooms to accommodate the increasing student population has become a stumbling block in that direction. The three storeyed building which was in a dilapidated stage was demolished. Construction work of a new three storeyed building has now commenced. Foundation work extending is the seconded floor has now been completed at a cost of Rs: 4.4 million donated by the Western Provincial Council.

                                                The Past Pupil Association is in negotiation with Hon. Reginold Cooray, Chief Minister regarding completion of the building which requires a further 50 lacks.

                                    The tutorial staff stands at 14. Under the energetic leadership and guidance of the principal Mr. Piyadasa Hewa Btuvita, an officer in Grade I of the Principal’s service, it is to take its rightful place in the vanguard of progress.
