Forward be our watchward
Welcome to chundikuli girls’ college
On the 14th of Jan 1896, Mary Carter, a 27 year old British missionary, started a school for nine girls on the verandah of the Principal’s bungalow of St. John’s College, Jaffna. Her husband, the Reverend James Carter was the Principal of St.John’s College at that time. By the end of the first year there were thirty students on roll. Determined as she was, Mary Carter persuaded the Church Missionary Society of London to take the school under their wing. From there Chundikuli Girls’ College has grown to be a self-supporting school for day scholars and boarding school girls from ages 3 to 18 which is recognised by the Ministry of Education, Sri Lanka, as a private school following the national curriculum. From inception, Chundikuli girls have been led by the vision of dedicated Principals with the firm faith “to go fearlessly along the paths of knowledge that will lead to freedom”.
The Ideals of Chundikuli Girls’ College
“ You must aim at an education that will widen your horizon and extend your rights and opportunities and spheres of activities. In your endeavour to assert your rights as human beings, do not forget your responsibilities in building up the nation. The forces which retard human progress are poverty, ignorance and class rivalry. These are the foes that must be conquered before our Island can be liberated and enlightened.
May all the Chundikuli girls hold fast to their high ideals of Christian Character and Service. May they go from strength to strength until they have fulfilled their mission as builders of a new Lanka. Let us be worthy of the faith, courage and devotion of those who gave Chundikuli its life and spirit and its promise for the future.
Be worthy of Chundikuli's past. Be worthy of the opportunities of the future. This college of our dreams is based on faith, hope and love. Let us do our part to make these dreams come true”
