History

On 12 October 1930, Colombo Archbishop Pierre-Guillaume Marque laid the foundation for a new building at the school's current location. In 1931, it was named to De Mazenod College, and in 1933, it came under the control of the De La Salle brothers. The first prize giving was held in 1937 under the patronage of the principal, Charles Louis, and was attended by Deputy Education Director W. R. Watson.

The first ever inter-house sports meet was held in 1938. The chief guest was S. W. R. D. Bandaranaike. The college houses at the time were De La Salle, Marque, and Romould.

An old boys' union with about 100 members was inaugurated in 1943, and Sinhala-language classes began in 1947
