It is also known as Bandarawela St. Joseph's National School.[1] Established in 1909, the school provides primary and secondary education to students in the Badulla District. The campus occupies {{convert|5|acres|ha}} on a section of Badulla Road which is part of the A16 highway. HistoryIn 1909, St. Joseph's School was established by the De La Salle Brothers. Seventeen boys were admitted on the first day. The first principal was an Irishman named Patrick Purchell, known as Brother Simon Mathew. However, the land on which the school was situated was sold in 1914. The land was repurchased in 1928 by the Marist Brothers. In this second stage, the first principal was known as the Reverend Brother Lewis. By the time of his departure in 1934, there were 250 students. St. Joseph's remained a private school until 1961, when it became a government school. The first principal under the new system was Arthur Deegalle. In 1974, the Primary section was added and girls were admitted, making it a mixed school. In 1981, the school was recognised as a National School by the Ministry of Education, and it was graded a 1 AB school in 1999.[1] OrganizationThe principal is the head of the administration of the college and is assisted by a Vice Principal. The school is divided into three sections: the primary school (the former St. Joseph's College Preparatory School), middle school and the upper school, each coming under a deputy principal.
