Kegalu Vidyalaya ("කෑගලු විද්‍යාලය") is a primary and secondary school for boys in Kegalle District, Sabaragamuwa Province, Sri Lanka. It was established on 14 February 1942. The school is nationalised and under control of the central government. Currently the school accommodates nearly 3,500 students and approximately 200 staff.

Inauguration Ceremony

On 14 February 1942, at 3:00 PM. Kegalu Vidyalaya was opened to the public by Don Baron Jayatilaka and Gunapala Malalasekara, P. De S. Kularathne, E. W. Adhikaram, H. W. Amarasooriya and Rev. Naradha Thero.

History

Initially, Kegalu Vidyalaya started as an English-speaking Buddhist co-educational school. Later on, government regulations of the national schools prompted the language to change to Sinhalese. In addition, these regulations mandated that the school exclude female students and become a boys' school. Currently Kegalu Vidyalaya offers education in both Sinhalese and English.

Houses

The students are divided into four Houses:

  •   – Dharmapala
  •   – Gunananda
  •   – Jayathilaka
  •   – Olcott

The house names are derived from national heroes of Sri Lanka. The houses compete annually in games and sports to win the annual inter-house games.
