HISTORY
History of school
With the progress of businesses and the growth of the population, the families lived around Wolfendale church gradually moved toward Regent Street and Bambalapitiya area of southern Colombo. These people did not have a church for worship and their religious and purposes, so felt the need of establishing such a church. Mr. C.N Ferdinand who was a good Christian and the judge for the district of Colombo as well, made a request writing a letter to the Wolfendale Governing Consistory, on 12th of December 1886 pointing out the need of building a church in Bambalapitiya area. Then Reverent Father Samuel Lindsay who was in charge of the Wolfendale Assembly accepted the request and appointed a committee to proceed on this. The committee purchased a 2 acres land called Thalgahawatta near Bambalapitiy railway station for Rs. 4500/- and started constructing the church. Laying the foundation stone was done by lady Susan Lindsay, who was the sister of reverent father Samuel Lindsay. The church was opened on the 15th December 1889.
Since it was the responsibility of the church to provide education to the public, a girl’s school named as Presbyterian Girl’s School was established on 3rd of September in 1900. The Presbyterian school later named as Lindsay Girls’ School. For two reasons the school became famous as the Lindsay Balika at the beginning the classes were conducted in the Lindsay seminar hall, and laying of the foundation stone was done by Lady Lindsay. The first principal of the school was Mrs. Paulies. 29 students were admitted to school on the first day and school moto is ‘onward and upward’.
School was taken under government on 15th April of 1962 the hostel had been closed after that.
Although the school functions as a girls’ school today, earlier the boys were also given opportunity to study in the school up to grade five. School was popular as a girls’ school for burghers in the Colombo city during olden days.
At present the school consists of students, belong to all communities and religions and they study in peace and harmony and they work together as sisters of one family.
At times of special occasions of school still the school has not forgotten the historical bond it had with Dutch reformed Assembly.
The old girls who came from Sinhala, Tamil, Muslim and Burgher communities hold higher positions in different fields of the society both nationally and internationally in countries all over the world.
