Subjects, Courses & Qualifications

Rt. Rev. Thomos Cooray OMI then the Archbishop of Colombo realized that Panadura a Buddhist stronghold is in need of a Catholic School. Rev. Fr. Alex Ranasingha then the Parish Priest of Panadura, with the help of Good Shepherd Sister started a primary School on February 2nd 1953 in a temporary house donated by Buddhist native doctor, in Gunananda Mawatha . This was the first School conducted by Sister Mary Ailbie, Sister Philomina and three other teachers. Later on 2nd July 1953 a new building was constructed at the present school premises and conducted classes for 33 students. Due to lack of space and increasing number of students, then sister superior Mary Cuthbert Maconeli purchased the adjoining land in order to expand the school. The school was registered as a Catholic School in 1954. In the early years the school was mixed school . In the year 1964 it became a girls’ school. The most important thing happened in 1968 was the composing of the school song. In that particular year grade 6,7 and 8 classes were started and the school Western and Eastern Bands were formed. In 1972 the school was entitled to the new education system and then in 1976 for the first time in the school history students were forwarded for G.C.E. (O/L) Examination and in 1997 students sat for G.C.E. (A/L) Examination in the streams of Art and Commerce .Since then the Shepherdians were able to come out with flying colors at their various examinations bringing honour to their ALMA MATER. --
