The school was founded by priests of the Holy Family and managed by the sisters of the Holy Family. In 1885, the school was transferred to the Wennappuwa Holy Family Convent, where it was built with the help of foreign Reverend Mothers. Mission services were started to preserve women's dignity and serve the community. By 1962, there were two schools, Sinhala Kindergarten from 1–5 and Sinhala Girls' School from 6–11. The school was taken over by the government in 1971, and the children of the school founded in 1874 and the private schools were combined to form the Government Kanitu School. The school has since provided educational opportunities for 913 female students. The number of students in primary classes has gradually decreased, and the school will be categorized as a school with fewer than 1000 students from 2018. The principal is working to provide a suitable environment for students from grade 6. The school's history is a testament to the dedication and sacrifices made by the Pavdi sisters of the Holy Family.𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧
