The school was initiated with 80 students in the year 1996 under the guidance of the first Rector, Rev. Dr. Stanley Abeysekera. Thereafter, few buildings were added as the requirements arose. The school was initiated in a plot of land donated by Ms. Esther Senevirathna, a catholic from the Parish of Enderamulla. She donated this land in memory of her late husband Mr. Wilfred Senevirathna. Later, more land was added to the property with a donation made by the late Mr. Ranasinghe Premadasa.
