The past students will also join in a “Back to School” event on this day from 9.30 a.m. to 4.30 p.m. to bring back theirschoo­l memories.

Little Flower Convent, Bandarawel­a, presently known as Kuda Kusum Balika Maha Vidyalaya began as a private school in 1927 with just seven students and five teachers under Rev. Mother Mary Casilda who was the first Principal. It functioned as a private mixed school and was upgraded to a higher secondary school in 1956. The School was taken over by Government in the year 1971 and was declared as a grade 2 Secondary School in 1978. Then in 1979 it was placed under group C and classified as a MahaVidyal­aya and converted to National School. The School which commenced with just seven students presently has over two thousand students.

The motto “Diriyawada­w Daruwani Diriyawada­w” has given immense inspiratio­n to the past and present students.

Under guidance of dedicated Principals and Teachers, the students of the School have excelled in their studies and also outshined in many co- curricular and extracurri­cular activities.

Many activities have been planned the back to school programme for Students, Principals and Teachers. The organizers kindly request all the past pupils to join this great event.
