It is with immense pride and a deep sense of responsibility that I extend this message as the tenth principal of Hillwood College, with a prestigious legacy of 134 years. Our school has been a pillar of academic excellence and holistic education, deeply rooted in the rich traditions of Sri Lanka while embracing the opportunities and challenges of the modern world.

As we embark on this new journey together, my commitment is to uphold and strengthen the values that have made Hillwood College a pillar of learning and character development. Guided by our mission, we strive to bring about young adults who are sound in knowledge, skilful in competencies, healthy in attitudes, and rich in values. Within our richly traditional and Christian environment, we aim to nurture well-rounded individuals who are not only knowledgeable but also compassionate, ethical, and equipped to live and work as effective citizens in the globalized world.

In today’s rapidly evolving global landscape, it is crucial that our education system evolves as well. At Hillwood College, we strive to balance the timeless values of our Sri Lankan heritage with modern methods of learning and innovative teaching practices. Our approach emphasizes the use of technology, collaborative learning, and experiential activities to foster critical thinking, creativity, and a spirit of inquiry, preparing our students to navigate and contribute to an interconnected world.
