Good Shepherd Convent, Kandy  

Good Shepherd Convent, Kandy has an impressive infrastructure spanning over ten acres. Situated along the main Colombo Kandy highway on Peradeniya Road, the august hall is a commanding edifice. The main gate opens to a winding way leading to hilly terrain and wooded slopes. Flanked by two historical hills Redoubt on the right and Bahirawakande on the left, nestles Mount Leo, cradling the Chapel with its beautiful stained glass windows and the Convent, the citadel of toil, service and sacrifice.


Old as well as modern buildings are set out in a spacious and pleasant surrounding providing an ideal environment for girls to pursue their studies in an atmosphere of peace and tranquility. A unique feature is the precedence given to moral and spiritual development, infusing time honoured traditional values of love, equality, brotherhood, strength and sweetness which continue to remain the distinguishing characteristics of all Shepherdians.



Our Vision 
 "We produce Good Shepherdesses for the 
world" 

Our Mission 
 In order to make our vision a reality we commit ourselves as a team,
To inculcate the values of the Good Shepherds in our students.
To give life witness to the values of the Good Shepherd Teachers and Students for the total development of our students.  






A TRIBUTE TO OUR ALMA MATER

“She walks in beauty, like the night - Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that’s best of dark and bright - Meet in her aspect and her eyes;
Thus mellow’d to that tender light - Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
One shade the more, one ray the less- Had half impair’d the nameless grace
Which waves every raven tress - Of softly lightens o’er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express - How pure, how dear their dwelling place.
And on that cheek, and o’er that brow - So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smile that win, the tints that glow - But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace will all below - A heart whose love is innocent.”





Lord Byron.

The vision that you glorify in your mind, the ideal that you enshrine in your heart,
- This you will build your life by -
This you will become.
