VISION

Vibrant Shepherdesses with compassion

This means that we aim to form students who are full of life, enthusiasm, and hope — vibrant in spirit, thought, and action. As Shepherdesses, you are called to be leaders who guide, protect, and care for others — just like the Good Shepherd. And most importantly, everything you do is rooted in compassion: a deep sense of love, understanding, and kindness toward all people, especially the most vulnerable.

MISSION

“Drawn by the Love of the Good Shepherd,we empower students to thrive in every dimension of life through holistic education”

This mission reminds us why we exist as a school. We are inspired and motivated by the tender love of Jesus, the Good Shepherd. His love draws us closer to one another and challenges us to grow. Through our teaching, learning, and every experience we offer, we help each student to develop fully — intellectually, emotionally, spiritually, socially, and physically. This is what we mean by “holistic education” We believe that every student is unique and precious. Our mission is to help each of you discover your potential and become strong, compassionate individuals who can thrive in life and make a positive difference in the world.

GOOD SHEPHERD CONVENT - KOTAHENA

Good Shepherd Convent was established in 1869 in Colombo’s highest point, like a light set on a towering hill. It was the Benedictine Italian Archbishop of Colombo, Rt. Rev. Sillani, who initiated the first Catholic Convent, yet it drew upon the efforts of a French Saint Mother Euphrasia to plant the seed which has now become a mighty tree through whose portals thousands of girls have passed through.
