History
The Jaffna Catholic English School was established in 1850 by Monsignor Orazio Bettacchini, an Italian Roman Catholic missionary.[3][4] The school was later renamed Jaffna Boys’ Seminary.[3][4] The school was registered as a High School in 1881 and renamed St. Patrick’s College on 10 January 1881.[3][4]
Most private schools in Ceylon were taken over by the government in 1960 but SPC chose to remain as a private and non-fee levying school.[3]
