St Bridgets Convent Colombo 7

In 1902, Reverend Dr. T. A. Melizan (the then Archbishop of Colombo) saw his long entertained dream become a reality when the Sisters of the Good Shepherd opened a school for the education of young ladies.
A school which, to a person standing on the brink of its centenary year, sounds very much like a typical storybook school. Close your eyes and you can almost see it; the twinkle-eyed nuns who were ‘supposed to be’ strict disciplinarians, lessons under trees when the weather was good, jovial teachers with a distinct sense of joie-vivre and their band of students with high hopes, dreams and expectations.
100 years later we look back with nostalgia to the beginnings of our school and it is with a sense of pride that we walk down the annals of its history.
