College Environment
Located in the Galle District Wathugedara village, Sripathi Maha Vidyalaya has produced several knowledgeable, skillful and important citizens to the nation. As a result the school is marching forward with determination for its centenary in a few years.
In 1916 due to the efforts of late Mr. J.W. Janis Silva, a village school “Andhadola Junior School” was started with four students and one teacher. It functioned as a government school since 1960. Since then the school experienced many ups and downs and today the school conducts classes from Grade 1 to Grade 13. Advanced Level grades conduct classes in Commerce and Arts, which include languages and aesthetics.
At present, it has been upgraded as a lighthouse school in the Galle district. As at 2013 with over 1000 students, 40 teachers, Sripathy MV has grown greatly due to a proficient management system. The Principal Mr. S.K. Jagath Wimalasiri De Silva who was appointed in 2006, directs the whole school with great dedication.
