From the earliest of times, the Prefects Guild Of Nalanda College have upheld a sincere sum of duties. Even though the post of Head Prefect is handed over to another once a year the model prefect has been recognized as a supportive and friendly personality throughout the years, as they have strictly maintained the principles that the prefects stand by. The prefect who has taken this significant post is doing so hoping to indulge in some extra- curricular activities to “spice up” their school life.

When we look back into the past it is recorded that the Prefects Guild inaugurated in the year 1965. Mr. Gunapala Wikramarathne was the Principal at that time while the initial head prefect was D. N. C. Kottege. From that time onwards, the prefect body had willingly dedicated themselves to uphold the school’s unique reputation despite having to work under difficult circumstances compared to today. There have been four principals who have inspired and guided the prefect body since 1965. The master in charge is Mr. Asoka Senanayake who is like a father figure to the prefects. He has been a member of this esteemed foundation in his time and always encourages the prefects to improve the guild. The present principal Mr. H. U. Premathilaka has shed new light to the blossoming Prefects Guild of Nalanda College.

The Prefects Guild is considered as a link between the school administration and the students. It is this bond that has made possible the prosper and the harmony of the whole school core.
