    Sir John Kothalawala College opened on 16 January 1974 in the palace of Bishop Lakdasa De Mel. At that time, the bishop's palace was used for classrooms. The college was initially known as Bandaranayake Vidyalaya and was under the sponsorship of Piyadasa Wijesinghe, a former member of parliament. The objective in the establishment of the school was to provide more opportunities for youth from rural communities, away from overcrowded and competitive popular schools. The college opened with six teachers and fourteen students. With 175 teachers and 4600 students, it is the largest school in North Western Province. The Battle of Greens is the annual big cricket match between Sir John Kothalawala College and Wayamba Royal College. Proud to be a Johnz.
