History of the PPA (past pupils association) of
Holy Family Girls’ school Wennappuwa
The PPA is proceeding with a proud history of 19 years. The PPA was
formed in 1985 in accordance with the Golden Jubilee of Holy Family
Convent nuns, under the patronage of Rev. Sr. Patronilla. It worth
to mentioning the devotion of Rev. Sr. Mary Josephine who spent both
time and strength in forming the association in 1985. Twenty nuns who
were past pupils of Holy Family Girls School were present for the first
meeting in 1985. The first president of the PPA was late Mrs. Astrid
Wass an educated, courageous lady who rendered her true service for
the betterment of the welfare of the school, with her fellow office
bearers and members of the committee which consisted of 20. Her name
is alive, because of the untiring effort she took to continue the service
of the PPA with the committee. Lavish donations of her family members
still continue, to fulfil the educational needs of the students of
the law incoming families.
As a result of the donation of the past members of the association,
today, the school is fortunate enough to get the service of young,
energetic 40 committee members. Today it is the best, strongest source
that provides funds for the welfare of the school. All the members
of the PPA work in unison to achieve the aims of the association under
the patronage of the present principal, Rev.Sr. Henrietta.
