Isipathana College
Isipathana College (Sinhala: ඉසිපතන විද්යාලය) previously known as Greenlands College. Isipathana College is a national school for boys in Colombo, Western Province, Sri Lanka. It was established in January 1952. Presently it provides primary and secondary education on a campus of 4.5 ha (11 acres) ranging from grades 1 to 13, with an enrolment of more than 7,500+ students.
It provides education from Grades 1 to 13 in Sinhala, Tamil and English language. The college students are known as Isipathanians whilst past pupils are known as Old Isipathanians.
The school commenced in January 1952, with an intake of 400 boys, the overflow of students from the Royal Preparatory School, Greenlands College was established in a coconut grove amidst Havelock Town on Greenlands Road (after which it was named), on approximately 2.8 hectares (7 acres).[citation needed]
The first principal was B. A. Kuruppu (1952 -1959), who was then the vice-principal of Blue Street Central College, Kotahena.
The initial admissions were made by a board composed of principals of Royal College Colombo and Thurstan Colleges, and the headmaster of Royal Preparatory School; classes were organised in all three streams - Sinhala, Tamil and English, with a tutorial staff of seven teachers.
The first principal designed the college crest with the assistance of J. D. A. Perera and Stanley Abeysinghe of Heywood School of Art. It consists of a lighted lamp and an opened book with the motto "Strive with Determination" below. The college colours are dark and light green, which was selected from the college's name (Greenlands College).
The first sports meet was held in March 1953, and the first prize-giving was in 1954.
The first issue of the college magazine came out in 1954. In 1956, Vihara Mandiraya and Chaitya were built to commemorate "Buddha Jayanthi year" at school premises. The college had adapted itself to the socio-cultural changes that were taking place since Buddha Jayanthi in 1956, which led to the renaming of the college in 1961. Greenlands Road had been renamed as Isipathana Mawatha after Isipathanaramaya Temple, and the school was renamed as Isipathana Maha Vidyalaya. Within a decade, Greenlands became Isipathana.
