Our Alma Mater Sirimavo Bandaranaike
Vidyalaya was inaugurated on 1st of January 1973, as Stanmore Crescent
Primary School with 5 teachers and 149 students under the able guidance
of Miss Wimala Liyanage, the founder principal. Her name was "Stanmore
Crescent Primary School". The school consisted of classes up to grade
five.
Devotion and dedication of Miss Wimala
Liyanage and the staff, built up the academic elevation and the prestige
of the school. After eleven months of deliberation, the then Deputy
Minister of Education Mr. B.Y.Tudawe who was highly impressed with the
school’s progress suggested to change the name of the school in honor of
late Madame Sirimavo Bandaranaike who was the first lady Prime Minister
of the world.
Our initial staff members with Miss. Wimala Liyanage
After the initial batch of students
finished five years of Primary Education, classes had to be extended to
provide Secondary Education and in due course classes up to Year 13 were
established. Due to the patronage of former principals Miss. Wimala
Liyanage (1973-1982), and Mrs. R.M.L. Jayasekera (1982-2000) the status
of the school was raised to level of a National School in 1991. Under
the guidance of Miss W.P.N. De Silva (2000-2003) the school’s academic
and co-curricular activities were further developed.
Mrs. P.M. Kalubowila assumed duties as
the principal from 6th of November 2003 having joined Sirimavo
Bandaranaike Vidyalaya in 1986 as a Chemistry teacher. Ever since up to
date Mrs. Kalubowila also has been dedicated herself to serve the
school in the sphere of educational and co-curricular activities and to
