In a Catholic School, the Buddhists enjoy the privilege of retaining their identity and at the same time participating in all the Christian Activities of the school. This is very beneficial to our students to learn to live with tolerance and understanding when they go into society, which are some of the basic principles of Buddhism.

It is with a sense of joy that we claim that the Islamic Students Group has completed 40 years in existence. This is truly an occasion for celebration as Good Shepherd Convent is a Catholic school, yet encourages the study and observance of all religious prayers and rituals in a spirit of tolerance, understanding and brotherhood. We are very grateful. All Muslim students receive religious education. The two teachers Mrs. Nirana Nawshad and Mrs. Shyama Jabardeen are responsible for instructing students. Prayer meetings are usually held on Wednesday mornings with group assembly. Many Surah are recited invoking Allah's help and guidance.

Students participate in Islamic work shops and competitions conducted by other schools in Kandy and have won many awards. Students observe the month of Ramazan by fasting. We are also happy that many students participate in the Christmas and Easter dramas with joy and thus help to enrich the programmes.
