On this day, September 14, 1876, St John’s College, Panadura, was founded, marking the beginning of a legacy that has grown stronger for 149 years.
Today, we honour the rich history and vision of our founders, as well as the unwavering commitment of all who nurtured generations of Johnians. Our alma mater stands not only as an institution of learning but also as a beacon of unity, discipline, and pride.
As we celebrate 149 years of excellence, we look back with gratitude and move forward with hope — carrying the name of St John’s with dignity into the future.
This legacy inspires us to uphold the values instilled in us and to strive for greatness in every endeavour. Together, we will continue to foster a community that cherishes knowledge, compassion, and resilience.
