Preserving the Heritage of St. Mary’s College – Nawalapitiya, Kandy, Sri Lanka 🇱🇰
St. Mary’s College has stood for generations as an institution rooted in faith, discipline, and educational excellence. Built on strong historical and spiritual foundations, it has shaped thousands of lives and continues to hold deep meaning for its alumni and community.
Today, we are witnessing a series of changes that raise important concerns among past pupils, parents, and well-wishers. These include alterations to long-standing symbols, identity elements, and traditions that have defined the character of the school for decades.
We believe that any transformation within such a historic institution should be:
- Respectful of its founding values
- Transparent and inclusive of stakeholders
- Aligned with its original vision and identity
This is not about division.
This is about preserving heritage, protecting legacy, and ensuring accountability.
We call upon:
- School authorities
- Religious leadership
- Education officials
to engage in open dialogue and provide clarity on these changes.
Let us come together—peacefully and respectfully—to safeguard what generations have built with pride.
Your voice matters. Share your thoughts and memories of St. Mary’s College.
