History

Sivali Central College was founded as a Buddhist secondary school unconnected to any monastery in 1909 by A. C. Attygalle. It was initially located in a small house on Warakathota Road in Ratnapura. In 1925 the chief monk of Nadun Viharay in Ratnapura offered the property Sivali Garden to the school and in 1935 it was renamed as Sivali College. With the introduction of the free education system by C. W. W. Kannangara, Sivali College became the Sivali Central College. It was the first Central College in Ratnapura district. It moved to Hidellana in 1955. Sivali Central College became a National College on 5 February 1992.

gollark: These things never end up actually being as simple as one would hope.
gollark: Programming effort.
gollark: Much of it does seem to mostly end up working on "balanced because it takes effort" principles, which doesn't really work.
gollark: The whole breeding thing could be automated without massive hassle, but the supreme TJ09 would probably complain.
gollark: I tried breeding all my dragons to the AP back when I had 600 or so. It was very boring. I'm impressed that people can be *bothered*, honestly.
