St. Michael's College National School (SMC; Tamil: புனித மிக்கேல் கல்லூரி தேசியப் பாடசாலை) is a national school in Batticaloa, Sri Lanka.[3] Founded by French Jesuit missionary Ferdinand Bonnel in 1873 it was nationalized in 1961.

History

The school was founded in 1873 by Rev. Fr. Ferdinand Bonnel. Most private schools in Ceylon were taken over by the government in 1960 but SMC chose to remain private. The school struggled on thereafter but on 2 February 1970 the school was handed over to the government.
