THE PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE

It is with great pride and pleasure I present(post) a message on this virtual platform to congratulate
Lindsay girls’ school, Colombo 03 on her successful journey towards excellence. Lindsay girls school
continues to be one of the most prominent girls’ schools with multi ethnic, multi religious and multi-
cultural community where education is offered to Sinhala, Tamil, Muslim, Burgher, Ja and Malay
enabling each and every girl to live as one family in harmony.
Lindsay Girl’s School was established in 2 nd September ,1900 by the Methodist church under the
guidance of Rev. Fr. Samuel Lindsay. Presently with over 1500 students and 80 academic staff. Lindsay
girls’ school is shining as a provincial girl’s school in western province among the ever best popular
schools. The staff consists of well trained and experienced 53 graduates, who are dedicated and
committed in providing knowledge and experience to the students in all aspects and also in shaping
their personalities to face the new challenges they confront in this modern era. The school has been
selected for the pilot project in bilingual education where we have English medium classes from grade 6
upward. The school has classes from grade 1 to 13 and almost all the streams are available in the
advance level. Six languages are taught at A/L including Sinhala, English, Tamil, French, Japanese and
Chinese
I’m pleased to state that we pursue a great school motto, vision and mission empowering our young
girls towards achieving a successful future in moving “Onward and Upward” all the times.
I believe in, achieving higher levels of physical and human resources by using best participatory
management styles in the school. I trust in directing human resources and using administrative
strategies to create ladies with total personalities who can become global citizens.
Over more than past 120 years Lindsay Girl’s School has marked her position in the history education in
Sri Lanka. The school has won recognition as a powerful leading school. I believe that we will be able to
realize the expectations of the founders of the school, the former principals, teachers, past pupils’ and
well-wishers including the whole school community.
Finally, I express my gratefulness and admiration to all the Deputy and assistant principals, my academic
staff, non- academic staff, past pupils, parents, well -wishes and my dear students for their great efforts
in steering the Lindsay Girl’s School towards a greater position in her motherland and all over the world.
May the Lindsay Girls’ School be the best school among the excellences.
