A long time standing primary school that could boast of its retained standard nonetheless!

St. Bernadettes Nursery and Primary School was officially established in January, 1954 by Late Rev. Sr. Dunstan ODriscoll, OLA - an Irish Reverend Sister of the Our Lady of Apostles Congregation. The School, which started as a convent school, was formally approved by the then Western Regional Ministry of Education and moved to its permanent site at Ibara - A ten acre land.The dream of the founder was to give a lasting and enduring education to young boys and girls as well as transmission of moral and spiritual values and develop well integrated individuals. Though it started with forty-five pupils and three members of staff running the boarding and day classes, today, after fifty-five years, the school has a population of about two thousand pupils and one hundred and twenty teaching and non-teaching staff.In order to meet up with the challenges of modern day Nursery and Primary School, St. Bernadettes School offers a wide range of primary school subjects in a serene environment.
