Evolution of HFGS

It is stated that the Wennappuwa Church’s grounds served as the first location for this school, which opened its doors in 1874. The Immaculate Mary’s Reverend Father Chunavel oversaw the churches at that time. At the time, 138 female students and five teachers were reportedly enrolled in this school, which was then known as the Sinhala Girls’ School.

The Holy Family priests founded the school education service after accepting Father Chunavel of the Immaculate Mary Order’s invitation and helping to lay the groundwork for a solid educational foundation. Wennappuwa Sinhala Girls’ School, established by Sh, had about 150 students when it was turned over to the Holy Family sisters in January 1885. It has also been mentioned that it was moved from Juse Munidun’s church grounds to the convent property, where this school is currently situated. The churches were under the direction of Reverend John Aloysius (Em.E.*) at that time.
