The architect of this sacred institution was the Most Reverend Dr. Christophe-Etienne Bonjean, the first Archbishop of Colombo. The first Rector was Very Rev. Fr. Charles Collins. With his devoted and dedicated staff, within 2 years of their sacrificing labour of love, had made St. Joseph\u2019s College, a \u201c Glorious Educational Institution\u201d.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">The purpose for which St.Joseph\u2019s was founded was to give Catholic students the best and the highest possible education as per the Motto, \u201cIn Scientia et Virtute\u201d (In Knowledge and Virtue). The aims of the founder were not only to impart knowledge but also to help the young Josephians to grow in virtue and to bring out and develop their God-given talents.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">\u00a0The College also encourages multi-cultural, multi-religious, multi-ethnic and multi-linguistic environment which is the need of the hour for our country at large. It is heartening to note that the government has followed this example and is endeavouring to set up schools in this model.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">\u201cInnovation, Leadership, Quality, Standards, Creativity and Discipline \u201d are synonyms for our College.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Josephians have created ideas that changed the way people live, learn, work, pray and play.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">With justifiable pride it is recorded that during its glorious existence of 124 years, the College has imparted education in its broad sense thus producing a galaxy of Josephians who are a pride to our beloved Sri Lanka.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">In the next year we will be having our \u201cQuasquicentennial Celebrations\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">We are at a pivotal point in the Josephians rich history.

Most importantly, we have gathered \u201cEducation for Life\u201d. Our great teachers, at all times, made sure to deliver their best in order to transform us in to good citizens. Hence, we were motivated to work for the value of peace, harmony, forgiveness, brotherhood and love. They have taught us to be compassionate, God loving, do things whole heartedly and to lead a heart-centered life. They have inculcated the values of discipline, determination, dedication, devotion, creativity, punctuality, team work, respecting the superiors, teachers and parents and formed the character in us. They have taught us on positive thinking and that \u2018Winning is an attitude\u201d. The hallmark of our teachers is simplicity besides humbleness and in-depth knowledge, wisdom and mastery.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Furthermore they have taught us the duties, what I call it as the\u201cTriangle of values\u201d or the \u201cTriangle of student duties\u201d- Respect, Obedience and Responsibility which indeed we have been fulfilling throughout of our lives. We were also taught by the great personalities to \u201cColour inside the lines\u201d which has made us to uphold moral, ethical, social, cultural and spiritual values besides being law abiding citizens.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">We were taught to be grateful to our Almighty God for the blessings that have been showered upon us and express our \u201cGratitude\u201d for those who have helped us in a small or mighty way. We have also learnt the Virtues, such as Prudence, benevolence, magnificence, magnanimity, deep honesty, moral courage, compassion and care, fidelity, integrity, friendliness, fairness, self control, obedience, creative thinking, grace, good timing and deep selflessness from our teachers and parents. These virtues were developed by learning and practicing by Josephians.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">May St. Joseph\u2019s College, Colombo 10, which has maintained the highest standards in education, sports, spiritual upliftment, discipline and character building for 124 years, go forward from strength to strength for many more centuries.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">May this Citadel of Educational Institution for Wisdom and Mastery, continue to be the tower of strength and guiding star and light to the Josephians and render its relentless service to many more generations to come, till the mountains disappear.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">\u201cSt. Joseph dear, who never fails to aid us in every needy hour, we praise and thank thee\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marching towards Quasquicentennial Celebrations-by Maruthai Ravindhiran The Success story of St. Joseph\u2019s College, Colombo 10 Source:Dailymirror The College was founded in 1896, on March 2, 1896.\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cFruits of Virtue and of Knowledge, Here we gather, Peace\u00a0 and Power\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.
