As the present Principal of Ananda Balika Vidyalaya Colombo, I am pleased to forward this message to the official website of our school. Ananda Balika Vidyalaya has been recognized as a renowned girls’ school in Sri Lanka for several decades, due to the outstanding performances displayed by ABVians during the past years. I am indeed grateful to the founder of our school, the great humanitarian late sir Anagarika Dharamapala, for his moral idea of inaugurating a Buddhist school for girls in Sri Lanka at a hardest time. I take this opportunity to extend my sincere gratitude to the long line of past principals for their far-sighted leadership in developing the school to its existing status today. I would also like to thank the past and present teachers for their dedication and commitment to provide a pleasing and inspirational educational experience to the ABVians to achieve excellent results in all fields of education; and all its students for earning reputation and respect to the school through their accomplishments. For decades ABVians have been educated to excel in all co- curricular and extracurricular activities, whilst instilling sound ethics and high values within a Buddhist background, to face with self-assurance and dignity the encounters in an ever moving global setting. The school website is a well-timed initiative anticipated to keep pace with the latest developments of the information technology and would be the true source of information of the school. The students, parents and past students alike would reach the website for the updates of the school activities. Ananda Balika Vidyalaya will advance in all levels of education developing a matchless aptitude that is unrivaled. I wish all of you the very best in your future endeavors. May the ‘Noble Triple Gem’ bless you.!!
