History
The school was established in 1888 as St. Peters Bilingual School by Father Pierre Bolin of the Ratnapura Catholic Mission (Abeyawardana, 2002). By 1893, the academic activities of the school had been stopped but in 1898, a new school named St. Peters & St. Pauls was commenced (Abeyawardana, 2002). However, that school was registered in 1900 as a bilingual school by the name St. Aloysius (Abeyawardana, 2002). The government took over the school in 1960 (Abeyawardana, 2002).
