History of Ratnavali Balika Vidyalaya

Ratnawali Balika Vidyalaya was established on December 17, 1948 as a result of the establishment of Buddhist schools through Parama Vijnanartha Buddhist Company together with Sir Henry Steele Olcott and Anagarika Dharmapala. Then, Gampaha District Member of Parliament D. D. Karunaratne expressed his willingness to give the land of 21.4 acres and arrangements were made to buy this land with the donations of the local residents. On July 26, 1945, the construction work of the initial building was started on his initiative.

The school was given the name Ratnavali, meaning necklace made of gems, using the last three letters of the name of Mr. D. D. Karunaratne, who was the pioneer in the establishment of the school. On the second day of April 1947,  Mrs. A. Denagama took over the work as the first ever principal of it. The school was started on the 17th of December 1947 by admitting 60 (sixty) female students.

From 1947 to 2001, 13 headmistresses have served and I respectfully remember the contribution that all those headmistresses have made for the development of the school with great dedication and enthusiasm. On July 10, 2001, Mrs. H. A.H. Jayawardena took over the duty as the current principal of Gampaha Ratnavali Balika Vidyalaya, being the principal up to date.

Accordingly, with the further existing social complexity and the use of technical tools, there is a decline in student discipline, virtues and good attitudes and values ​​to some extent. Therefore, for the sake of a generation of children full of virtue and wisdom, we should continue to implement school-level awareness programs and parenting programs to provide a complete education. In order to maintain the 100% pass rate in GCE (S/L) and to increase the number of students achieving excellent results and to improve the educational level of girls with low achievement levels, feedback programs should be continued.
