Don Bosco Technical Centre Negombo was established in 1962 and began full operations in 1970 as part of the Salesians of Don Bosco mission in Sri Lanka. As the first Don Bosco centre in the country, we've proudly carried forward the educational vision of St. John Bosco for over six decades, focusing on technical training for young people, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Don Bosco Technical Centre Negombo is a home that fosters a sense of belonging, a school that imparts an all-round formation, a church that gives meaning to life and a playground where life is celebrated. With our lay collaborators, keeping Mary as our model, we build a faith-filled community of young people who radiate the gifts of Peace, Joy and Love to the world around.
We are dedicated to providing modern technical and vocational training to deserving and marginalized young people by helping them discover their hidden talents and guiding them to use their abilities for personal growth and community service.
Following Don Bosco's educational philosophy, we employ a preventive system based on reason, religion, and loving kindness. Our approach combines technical excellence with character formation, creating pathways to both professional success and personal fulfillment.
The centre is led by a dedicated team of Salesian priests who work alongside numerous lay collaborators:
