St. Joseph's College is a national school for boys, located in Anuradhapura, North Central Province, Sri Lanka.

As a result, individuals such as Dr. Bonjune taught English to the local children accompanied by teachers from Jaffna.

The girls of St. Joseph's College were shifted to Holy Family Convent and Swarnapali Balika Vidyalaya.

[citation needed] In 1957 the alumni planned to install a statue of Rev Maurice Legoc, a former director of the school (1919-1940), at a prominent nearby roundabout.

The alumni filed a court case but were ultimately unsuccessful, and the statue of Buddha remained on that pedestal.
