WP/GM/Embaraluwa
Mihindu Kanishta Vidyalaya school was first established in 1927
under the name “Bauddha Balika Viduhala” in a temporary cadjan-roofed building
in Embaraluwa village, Weliweriya, in the
Gampaha District. At its inception, the school had only 60
students and four teachers. First principal of the school was Mrs. Rupawathi.
With the generous land donations from
local residents and the support of various benefactors, the school has
gradually developed over the years. At present, it functions under the Gampaha Education
Division of the Gampaha Education Zone in the Western Province. It is located
within the 242 B1 Ambaraluwa South Grama Niladhari Division and is known as WP/GM/Embaraluwa
Mihindu Kanishta Vidyalaya. Today, it stands as a well-reputed school in the area, with
approximately 415 students and a staff of 23 teachers.
The school conducts teaching and learning activities
in 16 classes, with two parallel classes each from Grade 1 to Grade 5 and one
class each from Grade 6 to Grade 11.
Guided by the vision of “A group of skilled students”
and the mission of “Nurturing a future generation equipped with knowledge,
attitudes, and skills to successfully face the continuously emerging challenges
of a rapidly changing world, while being virtuous, disciplined, and possessing
a well-balanced personality,” the school continuously develops its physical and
human resources for delivering a quality and effective education to enlighten
the future world.
